CSET II-1-a Seton, William M.agee 2, Pimlico, Eton Street, to Mrs. Elizabeth Seton Seton, Robert Berrys, Esqr., College House, Chiswick 1782 Dec. 21 He got to his uncle's very well and his uncle is glad she sent him. He can now spend two or three days there. He cannot go to Aunt Whittle's till after Christmas. Her two sons are home from school and until Cousin Richard goes to Ipswich a day or two after Christmas he cannot go there. William will visit Aunt Whittle if it is a nice day tomorrow. Mr. Mann took him to see the House of Lords where he saw the King on the throne with a crown on his head. The Lords were dressed in their robes. The bill was read to the King and another man answered in French, ending with "Le Roi dit: The king consents." He saw the famous Lord North wha was shabbily dressed in five robes. The bishops were there. The Bishop of "Glouster" read prayers before the King came in. William thought he was in church but was told it was customary here to read prayers before business. Lord Boston was the best looking, and quite young. William followed the King into his robing room and saw him take off his crown. He saw the King again in his eight-horse coach in St. James Park. Four ladies and the duke of Cumberland were in the House of Lords. The Prince of Wales was not there. William is hurrying to finish the letter, as the post leaves only once a day at 11 o'clock.

French CSET II-1-a Seton, Elizabeth A., ______, to ______, ______ 1798 June William Seton died at New York June 9, 1798, at the age of 98. He was a native of Great Britain and had resided in America for over thirty years. From youth he was engaged in commerce, in which he acquired and maintained the fairest reputation. He was assiduous, yet generous, was free of vice, pride and ostentation, and was virtuous and a friend to mankind. Throughout his life he had sincerity of heart, dignity, manners, and liberality of mind. Alas, he is no more. The widow and orphans are without a patron. The children, an indulgent parent; the community, a respectable citizen. They will lament him forever. :: II-1-a A. Note. 1p. 8vo. CSET II-1-a Seton, Elizabeth A., ______, to Anna Seton, ______ 1798 Dec. 31 She thinks of Anna always bur likes to devote an hour especially to her. God bless her. Her parents and friends wish her well. By her conduct she can gratify their wishes or confer bitter disappointment. Elizabeth regards Anna as the friend and companion of future years. On the reverse side in the same hand, crossed out with pencil. They are too often dissatisfied with Divine dispensations. Part of this line is crossed out in ink. They question God's kindness with regard to themselves. They are dissatisfied with their state in life. She gives an example from plants of God's providence. God takes as least as much care of his rational creatures. :: II-1-a A.L. 2pp. 8vo. CSET II-1-a Seton, Cecilia, New York, New York, to Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton, New York, New York 1805 Aug. 1 Cecilia longs to enjoy the society of her own dear sister but God has thought it best they should be separated or it would not have been so. She often thinks of the many happy hours they have passed together. She looks forward to that time when their souls will be no more separated and they will meet the dear souls gone before them. Elizabeth is to recollect August 9.` A.L.S. 4pp.` In the same envelope: CSET II-1-a Seton, Anna Maria, _____ , to Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton, New York, New York 1805 Anna Maria rejoiced to receive her mother's letter. She had promised to write off the Virgin Mary's song but coming home so soon she cannot. She knows it is wrong to promise a thing and not perform it. Eliza Maitland writes too but what was her joy to receive one from Seton. Monsignor Robert Seton has noted on the envelope in which these two letters are folded that they are Notes of Anna Maria and of Cecilia Seton to Mrs. Seton. 1805.` A.L.S. 4pp. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 8pp. 32mo., 4 CSET II-1-a Tisserant, Father J.S., Elisabethtown, New Jersey, to Elizabeth Ann Hayley Seton, to the care of Andrew Morris, New York, New York 1806 Jan. 29 This month began with contradictions and yesterday he experienced one of the worst. He was in New York and was obliged to return without spending one moment with her as he came and returned with Mr. Belasise. He had to spend the three hours with a Frenchman of distinguished family whom he knows and who is connected with Father Francis A. Matignon and Bishop John Cheverus. On arriving in New York this Frenchman had to be taken to the hospital and Tisserant had to sacrifice his wishes. Tisserant asks how Seton's sister Cecilia Seton is and why he has had no news since the letter of January 2. He does not think Seton would believe that he would be indifferent to her. Cheverus would surely have supplemented and ratified what Tisserant sent word about two weeks ago and so she could be less troubled about what is required of her in this affair. Tisserant learned at Ce? Barclay's house that Mrs. Eliza Sadler was much better. Tisserant intends to go to New York Saturday evening or Sunday morning and if presence can have any influence on the person he spoke of, perhaps he will stay several days. Today is the feast of St. Francis de Sales, the patron of those drawn to the Church. This day also recalls their friend Cheverus who by his zeal, his talents and virtues seems to have modeled after him. Tisserant hopes Seton will remember him in her prayers as she promised; she is to embrace her children for him. In his situation he needs special grace. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 4to., 8 CSET II-1-a Neale, Bishop Leonard, George Town, District of Columbia, to James Barry, Washington City, District of Columbia 1806 May 20 A bill for $170 written by John McElroy for board and room for William Seton 3. and Richard Seton at Georgetown College. Neale writes his note at the foot of the bill: The balance is to be paid to the College clerk, McElroy. Neale invites Barry to dinner next Sunday. On page 2.: May 22, 1906, McElroy receipts the bill paid by James Barry and Barry acknowledges receipt of $170 from Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton on July 4, 1806. Page 3.: Bishop John Carroll has paid $200 to the College for his part of the sum due for the two sons of Mrs. Seton in the course of two years. Neale asserts that his agreement with Mr. Felicchi Antonio Filicchi was to take the boys at $150 each. By reference to Art. 2 of the prospectus it will be seen that in lieu of bed linen, school books, etc. student is to pay $10 entrance. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 4to,, 8 CSET II-1-a Cheverus, John, Boston, Massachusetts, to Mrs. Elizabeth Seton, New York, New York 1808 Feb. 3 Her letter of Jan. 12 did not arrive "til last night." Its New York postmark is of Jan. 26. Had it arrived sooner he would have answered it immediately. Father J.S. Tisserant reports himself well in his last letter, of October 8. In his letters dated July, August, and September, he says he intends to return in spring. But Cheverus has faint hopes of seeing him unless the United States remains at peace and the war continues in Europe. This will make Tisserant's position in England unpleasant and prevent his visiting his sisters in Germany as he intended in case of a general peace. Tisserant speaks of her and her sister in all of his letters. Had Cheverus known she had not heard from Tisserant in so long, he would have written that news sooner. If he hears anything definite about tisserant's return he will write immediately. He has a letter from Mr. Patrigio Filicchi, dated Leghorn, Oct. 3. Since receiving it Jan. 20 he has intended to write her. He asks her pardon and quotes her "Brother's" words: that Mrs. Seton, writing July 1, says she has received news of him through the children. The distance and Precariousness of the mails makes him disinclined to address his friends. He sent his last letter in June to his sister, Mrs. Seton at New York. He asks Cheverus to write her for him. Cheverus will write Filicchi when the opportunity arises. Both he and Father Francis A. Matignon give their compliments to her and her children. Matignon has rheumatism. He himself is in good health. He prays God to preserve her children till they enter the Church. He hopes, but doubts, that he will see the day. When she sees him "one of the heroes of her evening stories will shrink into a little ordinary man." He is glad her Pastor is her friend and advisor., P.S. She is to give Mr. Morris and her sister his compliments. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. royal 8vo., 4 CSET II-1-a Du Bourg, Father William, Baltimore, Maryland, to Mrs. Elizabeth Seton, New York, New York 1808 May 2 He has just written "at large" to their Bostonian friends submitting to them "the scheme" which engrosses him. Should they approve, he wants Mrs. Seton to come "hither" in two or three months to rent a new-built house which suits all his and her ideas "at least during the first year." This would give Mrs. Seton sufficient time to reflect on the propriety of the building, the spot, and the plan. He and his girls wait for her arrival., Side notes: The rent would be about $250 sic per annum., P.S. He asks her to give his respects to the Fathers Louis Sibourd, and John Byrne and to the Alomys family." "Presented by Rt. Rev. Mg. Seton." :: II-1-a A.L.S. 1pp. 8vo., 4 CSET II-1-a Sibourd, Father Louis, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Mrs. Elizabeth Seton, Baltimore, Maryland 1809 Mar. 15 Availing himself of Father Hurley's trip to Baltimore, Sibourd writes to her and her children. He thinks she is happy in her present situation and prays God that it will long continue. He transcribes a letter from Madeira from Joanna Barry who asks him if he knows the lamentable views of her loss of her only child, Ann. She is agonized but recognizes God's will and blesses her religion for giving her this recognition and solace yet she cannot say she submits to God's will as she ought. "Sorrow is an enemy to piety." Ann did not know until a few days before that she was going to die. Mr. Barry engaged a French chaplain who celebrated Mass in Ann's chamber. She was not afraid of death; her mother was her only care. She asks Sibourd if she doesn't have reason to fear she came between Ann and her God. The French priest said he never met Ann's equal. She had every attention. Mr. Barry expresses sorrow at the impossibility of letting her try another voyage, and regrets having forced her to try the one she did. She asks for prayers from Sibourd and his society for Ann's soul. Ann's remains are in St. Ann's church in a lead coffin, which she will bring with her on the first vessel to America. The embargo off, American ships will soon appear. Since July 29 she has been at her brother's. He wants her to stay and not go back to a country that has been so fatal to her. But she must out of duty. She asks God for resignation as becomes herself and those whom she has lost. She would like to hear from him and her other friends. The only opportunity of leaving at present is by way of England which is too circuitous. She is not well but hopes to make the voyage before winter. Mr. J.A. Lynch and Mrs. Nugent whom she believes are now at Trenton, will feel for her, as will also her friends at New York. She asks Sibourd to thank them for her. Madame Lovegnemarre will pray for Ann. Ending the quotation Sibourd comments that this letter made him weep, as it probably will her. If the Archbishop John Carroll did not hear from Mrs. Barry, Mrs. Seton is to show him this. Sibourd says to give the archbishop "The respects of a clergyman lying now on the back shelf on account of his being an invalid." :: II-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo., 4 CSET II-1-a William Du Bourg Father, Cape Henri, to Father Simon Brute, Baltimore, Maryland 1810 Dec. 5 Du Bourg sends this word to his little brother Brute before setting out. Eight days have passed in the bay, like a dream, without boredom as though in time of trouble, but also without merit for heaven. God knows how much of it he will allow them yet to pass on the ocean, if it is necessary to try to make better use of it. He asks Brute to pray for him, since God will accept his voices because of the charity animating them. He asks Brute what other thing could make his brother of concern to him. These will obtain for him filial fear and love of God and zeal for his glory and for his own sanctification. Beside this a little rheumatism cannot do great harm. In this regard he finds himself better. The pains are still felt, but more moderately and extenuated. For this as for the rest he exhorts that they do what is in order and without presumption or despair, and leave to God the success. He commends his children to Brute. He will find confirmation, first communion, renovation of spirit finished on his return and will be obliged to Brute for having repaired his negligences and inactivity and fulfilled his task. Brute will not free himself of difficulties, tardiness and thoughtlessness and even of the corruption of some. He will pray for Brute, them, and himself, and hope that his voyage will be for the general and individual good of all and the glory of Christ. They should be united in His Sacred Heart always every day at 3 o'clock. He asks Brute to express his friendship to Father David, Babad, Porquiet, Joubert, and to quicken for him the dear children he has given to his charge and never cease to repeat to them the "what does it profit" of the Master. He is setting out into the immensity. :: II-1-a A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo., 1 CSET II-1-a Carroll, John, Archbishop of Baltimore, Rock-Creek, Maryland, to Mrs. Elizabeth Seton, Emmitsburg, Maryland 1813 Sep. 5 Carroll is writing from a place not far from Washington. A great niece of his, Jane Brent, is being sent to be under Mrs. Seton's care. Since her uncle neglected to ask Mrs. Seton whether she can afford to admit the girl, the Archbishop is asking for her admission. He believes "unimproved but innocent" Jane will, under the care of Mrs. Seton, Margaret, and Fanny, give satisfaction to Mrs. Seton and the neighborhood. It is Sunday and the Archbishop is fatigued. The gentlemen who came to church are about to return. He has time only to express his paternal affection for his children with Mrs. Seton and her sisters. Charlotte is near his heart. He is looking for a more advantageous position for her. He is her servant and friend in Christ. Note presented to the Bishops memorial hall by Rt. Rev. Mgr. Seton, D.D. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 1pp. royal 8vo., 2 CSET II-1-a Babade, Father Pierre` L.S.C., to Rebecca Mary Seton, Emmitsburg, Maryland 1813 Sep. 26 From the letter he received from her, he sees that she has fear of death and the judgement. God should be thanked. Salutary fear is a favor of the Holy Ghost. He counsels her to have humility to make amend for the other virtues which are wanting and which she is striving to acquire. She is still a child. God loves her and will not be too exacting. She must prepare herself for the coming of the good angel and believe him, her loving father. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 1pp. 18mo., 1 CSET II-1-a Preudhomme de Borre, C., Marseilles France, to Father Simon Gabriel Bruté, care of Messrs. Caduc and Co., Bordeaux 1815 Jun. 16 Brute's pupil, William Seton, left Marseilles yesterday morning. They had almost assured his passage in a Sicilian ship when the Consul warned that the sea was infested with Algerines. So he goes by land through Nice and Genoa to Leghorn with the mail. He has letters of recommendation for Nice and Genoa and advices proper for a young man traveling for the first time alone. He behaved very well while with him and was a model to his sons. He was treated as one of the family both in his and his sister's house. A gentleman who lived many years in New York, a Mr. Parangue, who knew Seton's father put himself out to help Seton. He regulated the account for the journey, which came to 210 francs and 180 sols. He paid Preudhomme the balance of 48 francs and 18 sols which, with the 162 francs he received from Brute at Bordeaux, make the 210 francs and 18 sols needed. Thus Preudhomme says he has discharged the trust Bruté gave him. He will now speak of his own family. His family is as happy as circumstances admit. His sister takes care of his children. Mrs. Prudhomme's health continues to be unsteady. She has no one to talk her language, English, with her, except one priest. Preudhomme expresses his wish that instead of directing all his energies to his American concerns Bruté come to Marseilles. It would give them satisfaction and he would find some work there. Neither Mr. McCarty or Mr. Meguil was at Toulouse. The other gentleman received them kindly but knew no one at Marseilles where Preudhomme and William Seton were going to stay for a while unless the European troubles should drive them back to peaceful america. Preudhomme's health is better and his children are studying. The bad impressions he had of Francis while at sea have disappeared. He asks Bruté to give his compliments to Messrs. Ladiaviere and Dedor. He is sorry he did not cultivate the latter's acquaintance and would like to open a correspondence with him. Since Dedor is beginning the study of Greek, Preudhomme says he would like to suggest some ideas to him on it. He and his family wish Bruté well. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 1p. 8vo., 2 CSET II-1-a Bruté, Father Simon Gabriel, Rennes, France, to William Seaton? 3, in care of Filicchi Brothers, Leghorn, Italy 1815 Jul. 17 They have just hoisted the white flag; he shares the first moment of joy with William. It is disturbing not to be able to say to William's mother Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton "William was near me." He was glad they were separated; since Bordeaux he has lived in a state of alarm. He was also anxious after a letter telling of William's departure from Marseilles until C Preudhomme de Borre wrote that he had gone by land. In addition to what William writes to his mother, Bruté will also tell her all he learns about William. Separated from her, now is the time for William to be all that the good principles he has been given oblige him to be. His mother lives only to know that William is good and virtuous. Bruté has written to Preudhomme to thank him for his favors to William. William is to present Bruté's respects to this family with whom he lives. He would like very much to be there to talk with them of another friend as good as William's mother. Bruté is unhappy not to have carried out his mother's more fully. P.S. William is to write Bruté in Paris at St. Sulpice Seminary. He is to tell Bruté what he has learned from the Messrs. Filicchi about Mr. Zachi's books and Bishop Richard Luke Concanen's effects; he is to read them what he put in for them. :: II-1-a A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to., 5 CSET II-1-a Bruté, Father Simon Gabriel, On board The Blooming Rose, to William Seton, in care of Antonio Filicchi and Brothers, Leghorn, Italy 1815 Oct. 17 They are on their way. William will rejoice in the hope that Bruté will soon be talking with his mother Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton. He is to pray that they can prepare a happy future for religion in William's country. Bruté is leaving with three companions animated by the best of intentions. Bishop William Louis Dubourg will give them the best advantage. William is to persevere in principle and practice. Bruté sends his respects to the Messrs. Filicchi; he is sorry he could not accompany William., P.S. William's mother would not have wanted Bruté to write so short a letter but he believes William will keep Bruté's work in his prayers; with that, letters are superfluous. :: II-1-a A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to., 4 CSET II-1-a Seton, Mrs. Elizabeth, Emmitsburg, Maryland, to Josephine Seton at Mr. Luke Tiernan's, Baltimore, Maryland 1816 Monday She sends Josephine Bec's Rebecca's own words to Josephine. Rebecca wrote the first day she could hold her pen. Mrs. Seton says it is evident from them why she could take no other retreat but by Rebecca's bedside. Most of Rebecca's time is passed in her arms or on her knee. They weep together. The inflammation has subsided and Rebecca is better, so Josephine should not be alarmed. Here a little from Willy, the letter has no news. Willy says he is preparing and longing to spend Easter with them. She wonders why he does not get their letters. She asks God to bless Josephine and Richard and sends her love to Jene and all who have been kind to Josephine. She asks that Brother and Pere pray for them, and that she be remembered to Madame Chatort? and Mr. Tiernan. Bec cannot lie down so she is supporting herself while Mrs. Seton writes. P.S. presently Benediction. Josephine is always in her heart. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 1pp. 12mo., 1 CSET II-1-a Seton, Elizabeth Ann Bayley, Emmitsburg, Maryland, to William Seton 3?, Leghorn, Italy 1816? Mother Seton quotes the first stanza of "Jerusalem my happy home." She believes it is from some old Methodist hymn. Then she, enchanted with the lamentations in the sanctuary in holy week, turned a music of her own from them and added on Anina's Anna Maria Seton bed these words. Three more stanza's follow. Everybody cries at the words and music. William ? Hickey says it is so delightfully wild. Dick Richard Bayley Seton? cried hearing it, not knowing his mother was in it. Poor Berte cried, strangers cry, what a pity William cannot hear it and cry too. But they sang it at his first return offertory at the Mountain. And Father Jean Jacques Olier! Here follows a quotation from Olier?: If in one's whole life, one gains only one soul, it will have been well employed. Poor Sister Martina? Quinn. :: II-1-a A.L. 2pp. 16mo., 6 CSET II-1-a Seton, Richard B., Mount St. Mary's Seminary, Emmitsburg, Maryland, to William M. Seton, care of Messrs. Filicchi Fillichi, Leghorn, Italy 1816 May 6 The opportunities keep Richard busy writing to William. The first letters he wrote must have arrived "against this time." The merchants are idle, their ships are in port. He would almost rather see war. He hopes soon to go into business. He hopes Rebecca Seton will soon be well. Her sickness makes him love her the more. Her loss will be great but he hopes she will live and be well many a long day. Kitty Catherine Seton is very well; Mama Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton the same. The boys have the measles here again. Richard and William had their trial of it together year before last. Father John DuBois begs to be remembered to William., P.S. He excuses his brevity; Mr. Tiernan starts this evening. Richard asks to be remembered to all. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. 4to., 6 CSET II-1-a Egan Sister Mary, Emmitsburg, Maryland, to Catherine, Seton, Baltimore, Maryland 1816 July 23 She received "Kitty"'s letter with delight. She observed that Kitty spends her time well, but wishes with Maria Gillespie that she would write more often. She will narrate the experiences of a typical day, yesterday. She and the girls undertook a walking trip to the top of the mountain but stopped on the way to pick blackberries. The girls screamed that there was a snake round S. Fennell's leg. S. Jane jumped over the fence and found that Fennell was caught in briars and being stung by wasps or bees. Fennell was left at Mrs. Brawnes's and all the rest proceeded on the way. They began climbing rocks from the foot of the mountain, when there was another snake alarm, this time true. M. Stiegers who is very nervous was in terror. They all continued on until they began to think they had better turn back if they didn't want to lose supper. They gathered a few whortleberries and started home. They took the wrong road and had to cut across fields to get to the right one. The field grass was very deep and some of them were making the sign of the cross every step they took sic. Getting to the right road they had to go back a half mile for Fennell before going home to supper. They ask Catherine to write soon. M. Gillespie is also waiting for an answer., P.S. She excuses herself for having written a foolish letter. But Maria Gillespie said Catherine liked that kind. She asks Catherine to remember her to A. Tiernon and Sally, M. White, I. Jenkins and Mr. Hickley. None of the girls have gone to communion yet. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo., 2 CSET II-1-a Brute, Simon, President of St. Mary's College, Baltimore, Maryland, to William Seton, Leghorn, Italy 1816 Oct. 17 He asks Seton to present the following request to M. Fillichi. Two editions of newly discovered classics have been put out at Milan by O. Angelo Mayo. They are works of Oranto and Symmachus and letters of Salust Ennius, Plautus, Cato, Pliny, Antonius Pius, Marcus Aurelius, Verus, Arrian. It is his ambition that their college should have these treasures first and perhaps by subscription be able to give the first American Edition. This would be an honor for the Catholics.

Far be it from her to hold him by any tie of duty in a situation which does not meet his wishes. But she entreats him to have yet a little patience. She wrote Mr. Fillichi's Antonio Filicchi some months ago on William's future prospects in commerce and twice on the situation of Richard Bayley Seton and now a letter accompanies this with a statement of William's sentiments in his own words. She sees by them that integrity and filial love overrule his natural feelings but she must be grateful that they have so long held him under circumstances so painful to him for, her main object in parting from him was to give him time to know himself and to overcome his first ardent propensity for the navy. She fears not for his person but for the immortal object which his Nina Anna Maria Seton and Bec Rebecca Seton would now solicit for William, even more earnestly than his mother and Kit Catherine Josephine Seton. All the pains she ever endured are rewarded by the love and duty in William's last letters. She would be happy to enclose William's letters to Filicchi but feared William might not approve. Could William but speak his mind and freely point out his consciousness of not earning his bread, as he says. Fearing some delay or accident to the original letter, Kit has run off the copy of a part of it. The more she thinks of it the happier she is that William has spoken his heart out. Filicchi must be pleased for how could William have passed 2 years in a way so unfruitful without himself being sensible of it?

Daily he shares his "Little" with "our boys." He will offer the tears of the Infant and his dying blood for these two precious souls. He urges Josephine and her tearful mother, Elizabeth Seton to unite their communion to his offering. Two sacrifices of the purist victim, a virgin's innocence, one's sufferings for charity, a mother's tears will be powerful with God. When she comes to the mountain again she must, he says, pick out what suits her. He now sends her the "Expedition to Russia," which reveals what was endured for worldly ambition. They would be very rich if they would undergo only half as much for heaven. He suggests they use the aspiration of St. Francis of Sales.

Her mother will pray for her. He kneels in the choir of this earth before the tabernacle of divine mysteries, the joy of her Mother who is happy before the throne, lost in the praise and love which they aspire to. He hopes she is actually in Heaven but in the humble and wise spirit of the church she says she does not know. Only the worldly, presumptuous affirm so. Even in view of the tender mercy of their crucified Lord, they we think of God's infinite holiness and their meek use of grace. They find out "just any farther trial awaits them as expiation and purification." But they rejoice that the good souls are safe in union with the adorable will and are helped by their prayers. And the more acceptable and fervent prayers of these saints in turn are offered for us. If he wants to see Josephine saved, then how much more her holy mother. Anna and Bec should also be saved. Josephine should be good. She may say he is forever carrying her to the other world. This is true. Indeed, as he told her, he is no friend for her in the ways of this life but rather is it his consecrated concern to teach that these little things if done in grace can bring her great merit. Grace is God's tender support and mercy and the love of offering and suffering and the blood of Jesus. It is the presence of the Lord to one's soul, incessantly, every moment. Her mother used to speak of "the grace of the moment." He hopes Josephine aspires humbly for it and obeys it perseveringly all her life till Eternity. Even if her mother is actually in heaven they do not know it and should pray for her in charity. There is a note beneath the outside address and in another hand.

He puts her in charge of it after Emilie, and hopes they will help one another to continue to be as good girls as they can, for Christ, their own eternity, and for her Mother Seton whose good example can suffice. Heaven is the whole object of life. Besides, living for heaven is the best life on earth. He asks Mother Seton if it is not so and asks her to answer from her "little wood."

They had already been interrupted this evening during which they meant to talk. They had to compensate tomorrow, as Gaston promised to come early in the morning. Mr. Beverly, of Alexandria's daughter just came requesting him to go and see her father tomorrow. Her father was hurt in a fall from his carriage and lies in a tavern six miles away, where she and her mother will meet him and bring the author of the letter along. They were waiting in Clarksburg to take their father home. Bruté will try to be back soon for a new chance to be "together" and treat a few of so many subjects "together." A few, unless daily they could renew the talk; what should they think and say of this and that? The talk is only begun here when the summons are sic given: come, soul, enter. The joy and knowledge of eternity, Bruté enlarges on this notion of eternity. It is inexpressible and we come to it so soon. He does not understand why our body is to be eternal. He strives in astronomical and scriptural language to describe eternity and the greatness of God. He is more to God than the whole universe. He asks if it is of himself, Gaston, that God said, "I loved thee...before the world was made." Christ was crucified and instituted the Eucharist for him. He quotes St. Paul and comments to the effect that we must suffer with Christ by denying our bad nature and be "Jesufied, a word of the dictionary of dear Mother Elizabeth Seton." He contrasts the virtues with vices and the world's goods. Time is not to waste but to secure eternity. He believes in the Communion of Saints. The most astonishing mystery is that men can disobey: God commands, man refuses. When man was in honor he did not realize it. thus would be their talk if they met, but practice would remain the starting point for both. :: II-1-a A.L. 4pp. 12mo., 3 CSET II-1-a Seton, Elizabeth, Mrs., Emmitsburg, Maryland, to William Seton, Jr., _____ 1820 July 23 She asks if the cry of her heart does not reach him.

Bruté read in the Gazette a letter written by a military instructor at West Point recording with admiration how a cadet on watch duty stood fearless while lightening played on the point of his bayonet. Bruté sighed as he read of this youth in danger of death and not fearing. Two sisters of charity come to bring milk to the dairy below the chapel. He noticed how, obliged to pass near the workmen, they curb their glance in exact purity and sweetness, fixing it on their feet--the holy fear they have of violating their rule in the slightest and of displeasing their divine Master. Bruté, no military instructor, feels touched and attracted only by this blessed fear in which he saw their heart set. They fear death no more than the cadet. With what tranquility good Jane confided herself to God her last Sunday. Death--the West Point youth ought to have a lively fear of death if he is in sin and dreams of Hell, if he does not dream of Heaven and the love of God. Death--in the same Gazette there is told of two young cadets engaged in a duel. They have no fear of death and the military instructor can admire ! Horrors. Turenne did not fear death when he received the mortal bullet. But he feared God and had received communion that morning. Charles of Blois did not fear death, but in the battle took time out for confession and absolution before he perished. Under his coat of arms is found a hair shirt. David, renounced as warrior against beasts and giants, begged God to fill his heart and flesh with holy fear. St. Louis did not fear death. He attended on the shore the barbarians whom he had gone seeking. Bruté exclaims about St. Louis' fear of God. His mother Blanche had told him as a child she would rather see him dead than have him commit a mortal sin. Bruté wishes the poor cadets and midshipmen could have at West Point a holy preacher, such as military schools in France are provided with, to form them in sanctity while they are being formed in bravery. William might ask how well this might form saints of them. God knows, but it would not fail altogether, as has been seen to happen in such circumstances. Note by Robert Seton: "Bruté to W.

It is one of the last and most familiar which she Mother Elizabeth Seton repeated while still with us. She is now in heaven, he hopes. He exhorts her to pray always. The picture is for William who can have it for a mark in his book. "Our Lord" on the cross--"our mother" at his feet--praying to the Father with respect and abandon--all his heart and "ours" expressed in his attitude. The Spirit of Grace is His hope and "ours."

Josephine knows the tender friendship which existed between Chatard and her mother Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton. She would like to be her second mother but God does not will it. Josephine is to write and tell of her mother's last wishes and news of Josephine's plans for the future. Her health is very bad.

She should enjoy the peace of such offering of herself to His will. He is also glad to find mother's Mrs. Elizabeth Seton's child with such a disposition, but it is a great responsibility for himself. Though fluctuating in thought he is inclined to tell her to follow her impression and to make a trial of it. He will not fear to entrust his thoughts to her. Her mother Mrs. Elizabeth Seton had only one desire, that God's will be done. Thus her personal desire was conditional on God's. She spoke little of it to her. Josephine knows best. He "almost never- and never" objected to her "excursions to try the World." A fear of the world's disappointments is an equivocal sign. It doesn't do for a vocation. A fear of its dangers is a truer indication. A heart desiring to serve God and live united with Him turns from the world to the safest means of doing so. A desire to secure even in this life the balance of happiness and the least share of mental afflictions, provided it is not precluded by our obligations to others, is worth considering and may concur with an even greater service to our neighbors. St. Paul shows this in Corinthians I, 7. He advises her to read this both for its general meaning and for its application to herself. She should try herself "on the main side of each question." Our Lord's design as explained by the Church is to let the world say anything to the contrary. Men are immortal souls, images of God, brought by Christ into a union in one body. This union may be accomplished in ordinary life. For Christ has made matrimony a sacrament of sanctification if His service is made its last end. Yet another manner of life is higher and preferable. Attention to what is important makes it evident to a religious soul. Without this vocation for the better part one should follow the common way indicated by providence. But when piety calls one should be disposed to follow what is for God's glory and love and the greatest advantage of his soul and those of others. He will continue to help her to make this examination. She is to be prayerful, confident and attentive to her usual duties. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo., 1 CSET II-1-a Bruté, Father Simon, Emmitsburg, Maryland, to William Seton, U.S. Navy 1821 Jun. 29 Bruté saw of the arrival of William's frigate in the Fayette this morning. He put off writing the whole day, thinking that William's heart would be reached only by his sister's letter. But now the last hour of the day, opening the bible his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Seton, kept for seven or eight years, her first bible of 1804, he returned to Josephine. Bruté noticed her notes on psalm 118 which she said everyday, though usually from the primer "Joe" keeps. She had places underlined for herself or William. At a verse of fear for sin she wrote "o my dear ones!" To psalm 118, verse 144, which says that if God gives on understanding he shall live, she adds "in Jesus." She lives in Him, for them us no more. To verse 165 which says that lovers of God's law have no stumbling block she adds that His will is all. It was her whole last prayer towards two o'clock that night of January 4 with Susanna and Sister Clarke, "o Joe, Joe herself." Just there followed Pius VII's prayer which she recited every day. It says that God's will is to be done and exalted above all forever. A marginal note, inserted here in Bruté's handwriting, says she began it herself and they took it up. Her last three or four months were a union to God's will. She was recollected in her peace, loved her communion which was her heaven and earth. Bruté concluded the marginal note with, the statement that he leaves it all to Joe. Mother Seton tells her beloved one, William from heaven to fulfill that will and come to her. Bruté asks William's forgiveness for the words of one who still loves him in her heart. There is a landscape drawing at the head of the letter. It consists of two houses, one dated June 29th, the other January 21, a bridge, and three graves. There is also a cliff and a ship dated June 21. Two samples of Elizabeth Seton's handwriting are pasted beneath this. They say "dear dear Eternity" and "resigned and heavenly minded is so beautiful." :: II-1-a A.L.S. 1p. royal 8vo., 2 CSET II-1-a Seton, Catherine Josephine, Emmitsburg, Maryland, to William Seton, Baltimore, Maryland 1821 Sep. 10 She sent a line to the Post Office, not knowing whether William had left Baltimore yet. If all this could have been foreseen she would not have let him go so soon. It is hard being so near yet separated. Mr. Harper informed them that he is much better but will not be able to leave for a fortnight or ten days. Mr. Stratford Canning, the English minister, and his secretary Mr. Wilmott arrived Friday evening, but all the family were absent except the "old gentleman," Mrs. Caton, and Catherine. She has tried to be agreeable. Canning is delightful in appearance and manner. Wilmott is inferior in both and though intelligent, sarcastic. They will leave tomorrow. She supposes the visit is not farther extended on account of the family's anxiety about Mr. Harper. She asks William if he saw Dick's "intended." Dick complained by letter of her not congratulating him. He had not received the letter she wrote ten days ago. "Old Clem" asked for William. She suggests that he take notice of Old Clem the next time he goes to the mountain, as Old Clem said William had not been as sociable with him as Dick. She says all are well, especially herself. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo., 2 CSET II-1-a Bruté, Father Simon, Care of Doctor Chatard, Emmitsburg, Maryland 1821?, 1st Sunday in Advent Bruté asks William whether it displeases him if, while her Mrs. Seton's dear voice is silent, he writes them in her name "the word which from this day was so pleasingly kept on here by all you love." Christmas time is coming again. What a time Anna Rebecca and Mother had for themselves united for many years, now parted! William, Dick, and Joe were also united for a time. They are gone to the "face to face." They we are left to the mystery "yet a little while." Christmas and Eternity are words that come to William from the little woods after his long absence. Providence returns him safe but Absolute will does not return the voice and sight of his mother to him. Bruté asks William to forgive him for these sad memories. Eternity was her Mrs. Seton's only thought. Now she has it. William should keep it this letter? as a sacred inheritance as if she herself had written it. Today the religious year begins again. He began in his last sermon to the people of Emmitsburg by asking them three questions that he may also put to himself. They are, "What to say," "I believe Everlasting life? Should we think in earnest about it?--and how should we prepare for it?" the first has immense meaning. The second is contested only by the fool, though many who would not deny it forget it. Some say it is not in our present nature to think of its spiritual reality beyond the sensible. Then, it is not in our nature to resist sin. But we are obliged to resist a corrupt sinful nature and a forgetful earthly-minded one. The answer to the third is to seek and obey grace to "its full and sincere extent." He asks William not to be too displeased with him. He ends with a drawing of a fenced-in plot of graves. The second from the right is surmounted by a cross. :: II-1-a A.L. 1p. 8vo., 2 CSET II-1-a Egan, Michael De Burgho, Emmitsburg, Maryland, to William Seton, U.S.S. Cyane, New York 1822 Jun. 19 Egan received William's letter of the 12th. He fears his letter may not reach william before he sets sail this week. He is glad William is stationed to his liking but feels the climate of the West Indies will not be as favorable as that of South America. He looks forward to the day of William's return but wonders what may happen during the course of two or three years. He says when Clement came there last winter he did not realize he would leave. He is a warning, to many others who likewise calculate on health and youth. He asks why anyone should expend himself chasing phantoms which elude him and cannot satisfy his immense desires. He asks William how many he has seen in his seafaring life who have only an eternity of damnation ahead of them because they have forgotten or offended God. The first moment of such a wreck's eternity affords a great field for reflection. Allison, he says, has handled it very well. William personally has or can have any reason for striving after heaven besides the desire for the knowledge and possession of God, it is the thought that he will there be with all his friends and dear ones again. He imagines he sees his, sister, father, Rebecca, or mother looking down on them rejoicing when they do good or praying hard for them when they sin. Father John Dubois will be in New York in the course of a fortnight. He is taking some of the boys three Nau's, Coale, Shafer and others. Egan will spend his vacation partly on the manor, partly at Mr. Jamison's in Virginia. He says he is well except for his weak breast. The Archbishop, Ambrose Marichal is not expected until September, so Egan says he may go to France. Mr. J.V. Wiseman was promoted to the deaconship. William's friends especially Chatard and Ignace, desire to be remembered to him. The building is progressing. He suggests that William write him first as that will be more practical. He asks to be remembered to William's dearest Josephine and to Richard. He asks William where he will be next winter., P.S.

She wrote two months previously in care of the governor of Havana as Dick advised. There is little news since then. She received their letters while at West Chester. She is pleased to know that both are well and love her so dearly. She prays for them; she could not live without them. They are all the world to her. She passed a quiet summer with Aunty Post near West Chester. Both Aunty Post and Casey were very affectionate. She left them ten days ago to come to New York that she might have an opportunity for Philadelphia. Aunt Post wants her to visit once a year. She is now with the Seton girls in town. They bear up wonderfully against fortune's frowns. She realizes she is far more fortunate than they. Alfred Seton is home from Angostura where he is doing well in business. He intends taking his wife and two children back with him in a few weeks. The yellow fever in the city is disappearing; she can now get to Philadelphia. Aunty Scott urges her to come. She intends to return to Baltimore in November and stay. Matters and things are still stationary. Harry Macomb, likely the one who was with them at Baltimore College is deranged, either from his father's reverse of fortune or from hard study. John McHenry who married Miss Howard of Baltimore is dead. She died eighteen months before. Their other Baltimore friends are the same. Henry Vining died two months ago and left the little he possessed to Uncle Governeur Ogden. "Due" talks most affectionately of them both. The Captain brought "Due"'s sister over with him. The sister does not resemble "Due" much. Aunt Helen's family is all well, but she had an accident. A Dearborn wagon in which she, her children, nurse, and Uncle W. Craig were riding overturned. Everyone received an injury more or less severe. Catharine paid a visit to Yonkers while in the country and met Mrs. Richard Bayley who was kind and asked to be remembered to Dick particularly; Catherine hopes he writes to Uncle Guy? Carleton. Sister Susan has returned to Emmitsburg in improved health. The girls all send their love to both., P.S.

He fears he will be one of the last to leave of the eight remaining on board. Captain Spence has permitted two to leave, one of them Midshipman Pinckny. He cannot see her before the first of the month. The Captain has asked the department for eight new midshipmen but even if ordered they cannot join the ship until it is out of quarantine. The officers will be permitted to go to the city on the 13th. The health officer says the ship must be kept in quarantine until Nov. unless they unstow her provisions, etc. and whitewash the hold. This is unlikely as it would be too much of a strain on the sick crew in hot weather. When the new midshipmen join he can get a leave of absence. He also received a kind litter from D. Chatard enjoining him not to come to Baltimore unless he stays with him. He says he will write Chatard immediately though this is the first letter he has gotten from him since Emmitsburg. Sad scenes often take place alongside the ship as a result of its recent mishap. He relates how a grey-haired man and two women came alongside in a boat asking for Simeon Davis. After hesitancy on the part of the crew, William had to tell them that Davis was dead. The three were the dead man's father, sister, and wife. Heaven has been truly good to them.

He missed seeing Marquis de Lafayette there as he had missed seeing him in every other city, for he had to return two days before Lafayette arrived. Father John Du Bois could not see Lafayette or invite him to the Seminary, but expects to do so in the spring. Egan is writing her on Monday the 1st of the month, her day. Thus he does not forget her, nor will he forget Mother Elizabeth Seton at her fourth anniversary. He offers the Holy Sacrifice with the intention that if she is in heaven the merits will go to Richard. He is bound to pray for her who told him that at her last breath she would have him on her heart. Their mother will intercede for her, William, himself, and all dear to her in life. He asks when William will return and when she will visit the Mount. He asks for Mrs. Duplex, whom he wrote from Philadelphia. All at the Mount are well. Sister Martha is fat and lively.

It is near the 4th. Bruté asks whether he can pass the day without "trying" his union to her sorrow. A priest's care for spirituals is most sacred to be assumed among the heavenly ones. If God gave him grace for it or if he could transmit to her the grace of the father of orphans... He weeps now. He wept earlier today at the altar and since upon receiving back books used by mother. Every heart feels Josephine's pain but God alone will remain in her heart as true father and friend. The most precious things of sympathy and love in this world are imperfect and unavailing. His mother in France whom he will see no more told him that God alone is the unabating friend. The hurry and business of life soon carries every one his own way so that even the kindliest cannot offer much care to the wounded soul, God alone within keeps company with her at whatever she is engaged. He speaks to her of his divine rights and will and her trust in His providence which, caring for His least creatures, must care much more for men. She is happy in having honoured His providence by the side of her suffering mother. "...let us turn wholy that side." She should indeed do what prudence and friends show best, but should feel that her whole confidence and solace rests "the only side of God." Love and submission to Him bring blessings. These two wards will come to her always from that grave or rather from beyond. To the last her mother spoke of love and embrace of the most high will. If Josephine makes this submission day and night she will be blessed even in her present excess of grief. He asks her to receive kindly this father of the soul as he comes round the bleeding heart. The Christ does not offer assuming words, "How silent rather he would remain." Bruté only repeats, as from the heart of Josephine's mother, the one name which is duty, comfort and hope: God, the Trinity. Saints and angels say it and mother "though we pray, we hope.", P.S.

He also gave a receipt for each payment on the check for it on the U.S. Bank. He generally received on the first of the month what was due the 30th.

He has respite from confessions for the evening, so will begin writing. He received her letter three weeks ago and was pleased by it. He wishes her season's greetings. "9th Jan." He has been entirely occupied in the confessional. This was her day and he assures her he did not forget it. There was a solemn mass at St. Joseph's the 4th for Mother Elizabeth Seton. He prays for her conditionally; if she does not need it, the intention is for Richard. Five years have passed. Time flies to eternity and is important only as a means to it. Many people forget this. He remembers their mother's expression, "Faith and Love." "13th." He has heard that her William Seton is in Washington and he supposes she will at last meet and embrace him. He will enjoy her and William's company, as she mentioned in her letter. But she never said when that would be. He keeps house by himself on the hill. The new college is built but will need additions next spring. William, he thinks, would like to see it. He would write him a letter if he knew where to send it. All are well at the Seminary and St. Joseph's. Sister Martha is healthy, lively, and wild, and devoted to her. Father Simon Gabriel Bruté saw only three or four days ago the letter she pinned in the "Essai sur l'indifference." He wrote a note on the 4th which immediately follows this note. Egan tells her that Bruté is attached to her. The Catholic Prelate, Dr. John England's sermon to the supreme council Congress was given newspaper notice as being liberal. Egan hopes he did not temporize and not remark that America is getting over its bigotry. It is not ignorance so much as unwillingness to sacrifice which keeps so many out of the Church. Zealous priests are needed. Three new priests were ordained at the Seminary during the last six months. Two, Father Mr. [sic] Miller and a deacon, Mr. Marshall, went to Cincinnati after ten years here. Father Curran is pastor at Lebanon, Pennsylvania and doing well. Egan thinks it harder for a priest to get to heaven than for anyone else and asks Josephine to pray for him. He wishes he had some of his mother's love of God, or even some of Josephine's "love of gratitude," which however is not the pure love of God, but a step below it, since it has something of self in it. He writes to her as he thinks and perhaps more spiritually than he would say to her present. He tells her not to hurry herself with the stole and that though another priest took the one he had at the Seminary Father Dubois [DuBois] has one he can use until she comes. Little Robert is well and will make his first communion February 2. This is also his own birthday and the day he made his communion. He asks to be remembered to Miss Emily.` The following is added: CSET II-1-a Bruté, Father Simon, Emmitsburg, Maryland, to Catherine Josephine Seton, Baltimore, Maryland 1826 Jan. 4 Brute asks to be pardoned this day if he writes only a few lines at the end of Egan's letter. Heaven is her portion and "we" on earth still try to assure ourselves of it. What vanity is all the rest if it has no bearing on it heaven. Mother Seton was convinced of this and was a soul of eternity. Anna and Rebecca and the two sisters through all that immense eternity rejoice in being free with her to the full extent of their grace. For each bank it is only a matter of hearing Christ's parable on the Samaritan. To Jerusalem he said not another thing, shedding his tears before his blood. He asks Josephine to pardon him if he evidences the return of his desire for her eternal welfare and for William Seton's also. Bruté does not fear, indeed he rather hopes, she will repeat this to William. If God wants her in the world there to glorify him as happily as she has persisted in doing thus far, she is to repeat as much as she can to William under all the forms her love for him, which unites the love of Mother Seton, Anna and Rebecca. Bruté desires that this also be the whole thought in Mrs. Patterson's Ireland and viceroyalty. Bruté still calls her by the name under which she did such edifying work; the rest is ephemeral vanity followed by death. To rejoice otherwise than at the occasion of doing good, namely, at the pomps in the gayettes, is sad folly and vanity. God alone gives the value of everything; all the rest is childish prattle for heirs of heaven and members of Christ, who on earth is crowned only with thorns. He has added Josephine's holy mother. Bruté saw her at Paris, the very type of Christian piety, and he has been pleased by the singular and open insistance of the gayettes on the visits of Monseigneur Murrai. Adieu and respects. Marginal note: Bruté asks Josephine to send him a few lines in answer to these, but not to take the trouble to write a separate letter. Whenever she writes to M. Egan she can send two lines for him and two for Bruté and some of the little papers of her mother. She has plenty of them. Herein is another of Rebecca's. :: II-1-a A.L.S.

He is anxious to have Richard write and tell in great detail about the savages of his missions, as well as the account of the progress of America. Even though these details are not very interesting to Richard who is used to them, they interest the Association greatly. They could not have kept up the good work without the little news they have received. Petit thinks that each missionary should be required to keep a journal which they could send once a month to Richard at least in duplicate, and he could prepare from them articles for the Annales of the Association. Petit has a special request. He wants Richard to secure a complete Indian outfit, pipe and all together with other curious items and send and send them to him together with a note of costs. He has received that day a letter from Father Frederick Rese which followed a letter the previous day from Bishop Edward Dominic Fenwick acknowledging the receipt of the letter concerning the grant to him by the Association, for 1825, although he has not received them from M. Rigagnon. He has told Fenwick that the allocation is to be distributed to the missions. He wishes that he could carry on a correspondence with Richard but is hindered by his work. He begs Richard not to forget in his prayers France which is being threatened by enemies of religion, who are at the same time enemies of the monarchy and of order. Rouen has been the scene of frightful events but the government takes no repressive measures. A revolution like that in England of 1682 is presaged, and irreligion is the order of the day. Protestantism threatens to invade everywhere. This prayer might save France, a great return for what France has done for the new world. The civilization which Richard is carrying to the savages of America is threatened and this should frighten Richard. He sends the letter in duplicate so that it will surely arrive.

He has been hoping to see her and William Seton this summer, as she promised in her last letter. William, also forgot to answer the letter he sent him at Baltimore. He still hopes they will come and visit him for a month. He hears she is not so well. He asks her to tell him that at least. He is postponing many questions, to ask of her when he sees her. He does not have sufficient health or time to write a long letter. He has attended to her first Monday of each month and hopes she has united thought of him at her communions. There is a rumor the Father John DuBois will be made a bishop. His leaving would not greatly affect the institution. Egan asks if William is promoted and how long he will remain with her. His own health is generally well but he is sick today and tomorrow. He wishes his spiritual health was as good as his corporal. Being concerned with other people's salvation he fears he neglects his own. He sometimes imagines her in the midst of the deluded rotaries of the world who seek happiness in fashions and dissipations. He realized that though obliged to mix with them she can even there gain merit thinking of the one necessary thing. He excuses himself for seeming to preach to her. He asks her and William to write him. He sends his respects to Miss Emily Harper. He did not forget her birthday, June 28. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo., 3 CSET II-1-a Winthrop, B.

He was going to send a letter in May by John or William Henry but he left for Charleston. Seton's brother, Alfred, will sail tomorrow in the William Henry and will have more news of New York than he has himself since he has been back from Angostura only a fortnight. Clark left Saturday for Trieste. Clark requested him to tell Seton to ask his brother to examine the account of certain saddles. As Clark was boarding the brig Hallet arrested him and took him to jail where he gave Hallet a note for the amount of the saddles. Clark never had an interest in the saddles and should not be allowed to suffer for them. Winthrop does not know whether Henry's family took his suggestion to write Henry by the ship now bearing this letter. Henry's family is well. Winthrop saw Seton's sisters at church yesterday.

She wrote her from Leghorn of the disagreeable voyage. Then of their enjoying the society of friends in a most uninteresting city of Italy, where they remained through a season of unsettled yet pleasant weather until March. Then they left for delightful Florence where they stayed for the spring instead of passing on as they had intended, to Rome and Naples. William Seton has applied for an extension of his leave. If he gets it they plan to stay in Europe until May of next year. They will go to southern Italy later on towards winter. She says time flies so fast that she must make her stay longer and get the most out of it. Otherwise the long voyage will have been scarcely worthwhile. The longer stay will restore her constitution. She is occasionally homesick and fears she does not always appreciate the curiosities surrounding her. She likes roaming but not the inconveniences. She is discouraged from writing her friends because they answer so rarely. They will remain at Florence three months until July when they will go to the Lucca baths, a cool resort. Florence is romantic. The gallery is much to be admired with its antique and modern chef d'oeuvres. She has been enlightened as to the perfection of painting and sculpture. Niobe and her children is a more interesting statue than Venus. She describes the Grand Duke palace. She saw the Duke and Duchess enter the Cathedral Easter Day. He does not look like a hero or prince but is thin, pale, undistinguished, and unoffensive. The Duchess has a delicate face and is amicable and charitable. The drive is a gorgeous equipage with six horses, pontillions and outriders. The Duke alone drives six. Prince Borghese has only four. "The old lump of mortality" drives about with his dog beside him. She imagines the poor Italians would wish to be his dog. They are utterly subservient to the great and have little "moral energy of independence of character." The Museum is very complete, featuring the human anatomy in wax and a specimen of everything created. There are many beautiful churches. The Medicci chapel is a kind of "masoleum" sic. The church of Santa Croce contains monuments of Galileo, Michaelangelo, Alfieri, Michaevelli, etc. The walks and rides of the city are delightful, of which the Caseina and the Boboli are most famous. Beautiful gardens attached to some of the Palaces are open to the public. For one with an easy fortune it is a charming and interesting place to reside. She goes to opera and takes lessons on the guitar and song accompaniment. She is however entirely occupied with my Italian master. They frequently see Mr. William Cox and family. The Cox children speak French and Italian. One of the children, her namesake, Julia, resembles her. Josephine is attached to the Cox family. She is glad she decided be visit Europe but the treasures of a nabob could not induce her to remain there. She looks forward to their return. She asks Mrs. Scott about her health. She supposes she is going on her summer excursion to Long Branch. She heard Elizabeth C. was coming to Europe and will be pleased if she does. She hopes she received the letters she wrote her after her marriage in care of her mother. She asks for Mrs. J. Scott and family. William often thinks of little Maria and their Long Branch adventures. She asks Joanne to give her affectionate regards to the Setons and family and to remember her to her friends, to Mr. Mariloe and Emmy James must be almost on his way home. She asks Mrs. Scott for a letter and speaks of their mutual love., P.S.

He did not deserve such attention except for his lifelong attachment to Josephine and William Seton. He came to Baltimore but since he spent only two busy days there did not try to see her. He doubted whether after going so far he would find her home. He would like to have met her family. He trusts she realizes anyway that his heart is "to" her. He would say the same for William. He wonders whether William received his first letter to Washington or a second just before he received hers. On hearing the most interesting news for William Bruté could not check his "feelings" in the letter. Bruté explains about William's own way. There is too much of his own "main way and main pledge in everything not to rely that if he received that letter which I left to Sister Martha to direct, he will have been pleased even with the indiscretion another, but so good a friend, might have found in it." Bruté has heard no more of the news and despite its positive announcement does not know whether it is true. If so, she is to "confirm to both," the wishes of happiness. He has often offered the sacrifice for them. Her letters being memories of 1815 since she is now with her aunt who was kind to him at that time. The aunt's kindness to him was rather on account of her love for the friend who brought him and with whom he could feel proud and delighted than on account of his otherwise shy and awkward nature. Through the whole family he had the same kind reception, and even when returning alone he was extended polite invitations. He asks her to renew the expressions of such feeling as has ever since remained in his heart. He desires to mention Samuel by name, his voyage, presence at the hermitage and long talks, his letters, and their last meeting in 1826, all just as they are in his heart. Samuel promised him a copy of the memoirs of Mrs. Elizabeth Seton but he has never gotten it so asks Catherine to renew the search for it when she comes in the fall, as they hope she will. He is glad she knows their good Mr. Bertrand. He has not had a letter since that fatal July. His letters always contained many lines about "Mother" Mrs. Seton, Bee, or Catherine. He is pained at his country's disasters. Yet he would be sorry to miss his proper settling with God. Yesterday they had one of their most frequent meditations with the seminarians, The Will, "all in the general providence of the universe" and "in our whole life." This obliges us "to boundless habitual confidence and resignation---." He will defer preaching to her and William until they come. They preach the better sermon by their example. This is also true of Josephine. Many excellent lines in the letter he is answering reminds him of it., P.S. All here and at the Valley are pleased at her kind commission. Father John Baptist Purcell may see her or William in New York for which he set out from here. He is pleased with what she says of Emily. He asks to be remembered to her. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.

The voyage was pleasant despite the delaying winds and calms. She was not seasick very much. Her understanding the elements could not unsettle, while the spirits of the strongest geniuses were overpowered. They intended to remain in England longer, but the climate, for June 24, was too cold and damp. She felt at home in England. They remained four days at Brighton on the seacoast. From there she wrote her father's cousin Sir George Cayley. She expressed a desire to meet her English relations. He answered saying he remembered her father and asking her to visit him. She will do this she says, before her return home. He told her that her grandfather's second sister, Jane Seton is dead, but that her son and family still live in Ireland. The Misses Berry, her Father's cousins, friends of Robert, Earl Osford, who lived often with him on Strawberry Hill, are still alive and remarkable women of talent. She says she was delighted with England, its verdure, gardens, picturesque cottages between Portsmouth and Brighton. They stopped to see Norfolk Castle where, she says, she was overcome with the feudal romance. She describes in detail the Barron's Hall there with its windows depicting the signing of the Magna Charta. The present lord is a great "Ninny." They visited the turret where they saw North American owls, then left Arundel for Brighton whence they went by steamboat to Dieppe. The voyage made her more seasick than crossing the Atlantic, yet she laughed at the voyagers faces to keep herself happy. They passed a fortnight in Paris, during which Charles Harper was sick. Emily is better but weak yet, and hopes that a change of air and scene will invigorate her. They had planned a trip on the Rhine but the doctor told them it was too hot and that they had better go to a watering place. They are now going to Vichy for a few weeks, but are first visiting Fontainbleu, a place conne4cted with Kings and emperors. She speaks of the forest and gardens and the palace which they visited this morning. King Louis Phillippe is trying to restore its beauty. They saw the table on which Bonaparte signed his abdication before going to Elba. After a few weeks in Vichy they will go to Switzerland and Italy where they will pass the winter. She hopes her Aunt Mrs. Scott received the letter she wrote before leaving America. Her coming to Europe surprises herself as well as her friends, but Em could not have done without her. She asks that her love be given to Mr. and Mrs. S. and Sally and that she be remembered to Mrs. Marthos and Mrs. Hewson, also Elizabeth C. and Sally Hare, whom she asks Mrs. Scott to urge to write her and direct to Mssrs.

CSET II-2-g Saenderl, C.SS.R., Father Simon, Arbre Croche, Michigan, to Bishop Frederick Rese, Detroit, Michigan 1827 Jan 10 Augustine Hamelin has been in Arbre Croche since fall 1836. He has charge of the school, which he keeps regularly. The English school is quite favored by the Indians as they are very interested in the English language. During the day, he teaches the boys and girls, in the evening until midnight he instructs young men who show great interest in the school. Hamelin has given up entirely the idea of becoming a priest, it is in vain to speak to him about it, and to remind him of his oath to the Propaganda. He wants to marry, but Saenderl hesitates about it on account of this oath. A dispensation from the Propaganda takes time, but seems to be the only thing to do. Margarite is an Indian, so is Hamelin. They both like the carefree life of the Indians. If Indians could ever return from heaven, they would want to become Indians again. Saenderl has already written 26 sermons in the Chippeway language and within a year he could have a whole volume of sermons ready in which he intends to treat the most interesting truths of our faith according to the Indian way of thinking. If there would be a possibility of having it published, there should be no difficulty as one can count on a considerable demand. However the books would have to be sold in Mackinaw, Green Bay, and St. Mary's. The Indians have plenty of money and are glad to pay for something they want to read. Their little book does not satisfy them anymore. Even the numerous half-breeds will buy such books. Saenderl is trying to learn the Chippeway language because it is the official and diplomatic language among all the Indians and the means of communication between the different tribes. An educated Indian must speak Chippeway as an educated German must master French. The books could even be sold in Canada among the Chippeway Indians there. A priest lives in Coldwater. Father Joseph Prost, C.SS.R. roams around in rochester. When the year 1837 has ended Prost will probably be convinced that the regular observance of the rules of his order either in part or totally is impossible, especially when the situation in the Southern states is as it is now and the ministering of the faith is so turbulent. To live according to their rule could only be possible in the west among the Indians. The numerous Chippeway Indians in the Wisconsin Territory, and the Mississippi etc. are ready to be converted. A new foundation among them would be easier than in Ohio or New York where such a project is looked upon as a folly. Time will eventually destroy these illusions., P.S. The Redemptorists in Vienna cannot come to any decision because Prost has turned their heads again. Saenderl has written to Vienna and told them of the impossibility of a foundation in Ohio and New York. He advised them to follow the example of the Jesuits and to go among the Indians of Wisconsin or on the Mississippi where there is a place for agriculture. There would be no collision with others, no unfavorable conditions. If Rese is of the same opinion as Saenderl, then Rese should write it to Vienna and put their heads right again. :: II-2-g A.L.S.

One extract follows. After arriving and making a general survey of the city he settled down in a retired part of the city to think over the problem which had been puzzling him. His recent contract with fast living had secularized his thoughts to such an extent that his first impulse was to try to ignore his doubts and forget them. But he could not. His doubts had become convictions and he felt it impossible and wrong for him to remain as he was. He made his decision in the presence of God who knows and with care to use all those means a Christian should to obtain God's guidance. He made up his mind to join the Catholic Church. He is going to make a spiritual retreat of abstinence and prayer for a week and if he finds no change in his sentiments will feel it his duty to join them. He is writing his Godmother because he feels bound to inform her of this decision. It is the hardest task he has ever had to perform both on account of his loneliness and his realization of the disapprobation and unkind thoughts that many will have whose learning and virtue he respects. He will not speak of the reasons which have influenced him and asks only that she, Grandfather, and those who love, judge him with charity and in the understanding that he is sincere. He has not found the common opinion among his visitors on the condition of religion in Catholic countries and especially in Rome at all substantiate. He has observed closely, and the whole air in Rome is deeply religious. Most visitors have contact only with the residents of their own nationality in Rome and never get to know any Italians other than innkeepers and "valets des places." They enter the churches only to see paintings or to attend great crowded ceremonies. Typical of them all were the Americans who came with him from Naples. Not one entered the churches except to see paintings or attend crowded ceremonies. They never visited any respectable Italian family or inquired about the institutions of charity and instruction. Yet they will feel able to deliver judgments on the character and religion of the people. The Italians and the romans in particular, are a standard people. He quotes a "learned writer" that Rome is the city most full of faith and piety. He has had opportunity to find out about the institutions of the city and is surprised at their numbers and excellence. The rich and the powerful attend upon the poor and afflicted.

Royal 10vo. CSET II-1-d Bayley, James Roosevelt, Paris, France, to Catherine Seton care of William A. Bailey, Esq. New York, New York 1842 Sep 15 He thanks her for her kind letter at a time when he needed comfort. He had the support of conscience and the convictions of duty, still, he was in a strange land. The other letters he received bore "the impress of abated love." He was happy upon reading her letter to find one at least of his kin who was appreciative of the blessing he had been granted and who could join him in thanking God. The change he made has not brought any regrets, but only religious consolations and new happiness. Now he understands the "much feared proselytism of the Latin Church" for he has been animated with the desire to bring others not merely to think like himself but to enjoy the same blessings as he does. It is the proselytism of St. Andrew who brought his brother to Christ. Reading the tracts of the Fathers he used to lament that what was once the "Spouse of Christ" now seemed so desolate and divided, and to dream of a union among its scattered parts. He did not realize that he had been taught to believe a lie, that the ark of peace still floated on the world. He can hardly comprehend why he has been taken into the Church when so many more worthy are left in error. St. Augustine, in his care, refers the gift to Providence. Of course there were his holy mother's prayers. Bailey wonders if the prayers of Catherine's mother Elizabeth Seton did not play a like part in his own conversion. Patrick Felicci in a letter he received from him at Rome, has referred the blessing to the same source. The prayers of the righteous on earth avail much, more so those of the saints in heaven. He has been remembering of late, and has been helped to remember by her letter, something regrettable, that he bestowed irregular baptism on one of her brother William's children, though it is valid in the churches eyes. It is important that these children should grow up to the realization of the blessings of their Catholic inheritance. He supposes it is impossible for them to have a Catholic tutor. Their mother would never think of allowing them to go to school abroad. If she would he knows one run by a Sulpician in the Suburbs of Paris where they would be made Christians as well as scholars. He would love to be the means under God's of bringing many of his dear ones in to the fold. At present he can only pray and offer the sacrifice for them. He hopes they will be given the grace to enter and will bless the day that made him a "wonderer." He is at the Sulpician Summer house at Igry. They return to the Seminary October 10 for a solemn retreat of eight days. He will offer it for his family's conversion and asks her to pray for the same intention. He thinks he is wise in not returning to America immediately though he would like to tell his family of his treasure. He trusts these matters to God. He put off the delivery of the letter she gave him for a Miss Fisher in Paris, so long that at last, leaving without putting it in the Post Office, he destroyed it. His note of introduction is worth nothing without it. He asks if it would do any good to call on Miss Fisher. He wonders what the Quaker would say about a man in a cassock frequenting his house. Catherine's account of the "young would be divine" reminds him of "looking one way and rowing another." There are many like him loving and seeking truth with their heads rather than their hearts. There are not a few of these spirits in the English church and "her not very loving child" in America who long for the expressive beauty of the Latin rite and think they can graft it into their withered and separated branch. He mourns for them. They should pray for one another and those they love. His duties call him from this letter. She knows he is "in all sincerity and truth." P.S. He will save until opportunity affords the account of his trip through Italy and Rome, "full of faith and good works.: He made friends there. Lord Clifford has been in England for the past year. Father Glover is infirm with the gout, an old ailment for a Jesuit. He believes she understands where he is and why. His first inclination was to join an order but now he believes he should return to America to work among his flock. He wrote his Bishop from Paris asking for instructions. He hopes the Bishop will let him remain where he is for a year. Notwithstanding miserable Spain, Catholicism in Europe has brightening prospects. Her enemy is indifference. He asks her to write him about herself and the Church. His love to Aunt and Father and all. May God protect them. :: II-1-d A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.

Mr. Felix Valeé made the exact copy of the original documents in the hands of Menard. Timon encloses them. Menard's power of attorney is null by the death of Father Gabriel Richard, but all that is needed is to invest him with legal powers and to send the patents.

Aug. 16 Lefevere will be pleased to hear the details of his mission at Pokagon. Lately he gave a retreat here with the aid of a preist from Notre Dame. About 100 received Communion and there were about 55 first Communions. Unfortunately there was scarcely anyone there from Pokagon itself. If he could he would not move them because at best they can buy only a small parcel of land. Father Francis Vincent Badin was about to come to Pokagon to carry out this project but could not come. It has been postponed until his return but that is uncertain. If Marivault were free he would buy the land for them but he is not free. He wishes Lefevere knew the difference between Pokagon and the other villages. The chief says he has written to Lefevere but has received no answer. The chief and his council want the agent at Pokagon. They do not want to go so far for the, omey that it would be absorbed by the costs of the trip. This is a source of trouble with the Ottawas . They are tormented by the minister and the schoolmaster. The Indians are anxious to have a chapel or some place where they can reserve the Blessed Sacrament. Marivault thinks it is time to make a decision. He has caused the Indians to hope that Lefevere will come next year and give Confirmations, for which he will have 200. There are only 3 or 4 Pottawattomies to be baptized. He hopes to secure a way to work in the village of Gull Prairie near Kalama zoo where there are 130 Ottawas of which 4 are Catholics. Next winter he intends to learn their language. Lefevere can count for his work among these distant Indians so long as he is not restrained by obedience. :: II-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.

Her forebodings are all giants in the mist that will turn out to be nothing on approach. If she keeps the love of God in her heart she will overcome all difficulties. Anxiety and Scrupulousness, she must avoid them. They come from self-love. She must not ponder on past or future but make a clear jump into her vocation simply trusting in God's grace. He is not surprised that her friend took his words for an appear to the imagination. This is the evil of Heretics: the truths of Death, Judgement, Heaven, and Hell never become facts and principles in their minds, but seem like dreams. Yet he does not despair in her friends care.

He lost his violin, but he is not at fault. It was put in the baggage car at Williams bridge and was not missed till they were half way to Philadelphia. He will make further inquiries. Monsignor Seton adds this note on the letter: Gerry and Tisby were two house-dogs at Cragdon, 1882. He also notes on the address side of the letter: This is an early letter from Mother Seton's eldest grandson William who with his brothers Henry Seton and Robert was at Mount Saint Mary's The violin was a valuable Cremon brought from Italy nearly 70 years before by William Seton, afterwards the husband of Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton :: II-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

Correspondence is not the only mark of friendship, so he has not forgotten Seton. Whenever he sees Clairvaux he thinks of Seton, his wife and children. He has been an invalid for more than three months and is so weak that he is exhausted by the least exertion. He is is Baltimore to consult the doctors. He dreads the symptoms of his disease. If President Pierce offers him a mission he will accept it, as a voyage would benefit his health. He is in debt to Seton for his invitation and appreciates his friendship. His present occupation no longer agrees with him and it would be financially better for him to live at St. Mary's in Pennsylvania and look after his property. The Colony is flourishing and soon two railroads will pass through it. If forced by bad health to leave the mountain he will probably take a pleasure trip to Europe in which case he will visit Seton. Doctor Short is still with them us but says he will leave for California next month. Beleke does not know whether Short was successful in New York, for he is silent about it. Beleke fears that Short is in trouble now. Mr. Pielman, who has bought a few shares, is uneasy. Mrs. Miles intends to move to Baltimore next month. He does not know who will occupy Clairvaux. Mrs. Miles refused to give up her colored man. Mr. George Miles is a government agent in Europe. They now have 135 boys at Mr. St. Mary's . The number is increasing daily. They have begun to build an addition to the college. The life of Mother Seton has been published. It contains nearly 400 pages and is praised. William's name figures in it. Nale Rideant, a colored man, has asked Belere to remind William of his promise. He said any assistance would be gratefully accepted. Beleke would like to see them all.

Ray told him today how things stood since William's wife's death and asked him to write William. Ray had just written to him to go by the steamer tomorrow. William should get a lawyer to start his case and make such arrangements for him during his absence as will relieve him from the dilemma. The lawyer could offer some plan for his present provision, since he should not bring his family home during the winter. He could return by mid-April, or at least embark then, to reach New York about May 1,. In appointing trustees for his family's security he would need double the amount of the estate. The court might insist on as much as $300,000 security. It "is a great obstacle to procure parties for so large a sum". All can be arranged when he returns, but his "presence will be necessary". The distressing times have caused not only individuals, but banks and firms to fail, stop payments, pass their dividends. Money is scarce and though he has marked down his paper it is still hard to get rid of it. Unemployment is great and the distress is worse than in 1836-7. Times have improved the past week and business will be better. There has been no wholesale business for three months and retail business have failed. The last interest due Sandusky and Mourfull on his bonds remains unpaid. They have made a statement. His wife is improving and beginning to walk. He does not expect her downstairs before March. Her bodily health is excellent. Emma has had an empty house this summer. It is now full except for one room. Old Mrs. Depeen, aged 82, is dead. Seton's sister came to see Mary and looked well. Ogden has not heard from Dr. Shrob for some time. The steamer is due tomorrow and they hope some pieces of quartz have become valuable. His mind is represented as sick.

Father Ouelette who has just come from Montreal is to succeed him and stay in New York. Though nothing official has been yet announced to him, it seems he will be the man in case the Archbishop asks the Jesuits to continue their ministry in the Tombs. Father Thomas Ouellet also desires that it be so. Before he goes to his remote mission he asks the prayers of the Sisters of her community, expecially those who have done prison work.

He wrote to Mr. Ray at New port afterwards. As Ray had received Seton's letter, he sent Ogden some money, promising whatever more Ogden needed. Ogden found the best peach brandy at Mr. Corwin's in Broad Way. It has been boxed, ready for shipment, for a fortnight. He will put it in the charge of the Master of a Liverpool or London ship, who will pay the duties, freight, etc. The bottles of Bay rum and the box of Kellinger are also ready. He hurried to get the Bay rum on board a vessel sailing for Rotterdam but it had cleared port. Ogden hopes that Seton will inherit the estate of Sir George Cayley who received him so cordially. Emma is taking good care of the picture of Seton's grandfather. She will have to move in the spring as her house is in other hands. Ogden promises to take care of the picture then. Seton's bonds are not worthless but will from what Ogden can learn still come up. Dr. Short is hard at work and having difficulty only with his shaking a tabled in separating the gold. These improvements completed, the company will make money and pay dividends. Ogden will apply for Seton's stock soon, when the company is organized. Ogden is surprised Seton did not receive the Tribune and Freeman's January last year. They will now go to Green and C. Paxies Ogden has his office in the same buildings as the Freeman's Journal and sees his old acquaintance, the editor, Mr. James Alphonsus McMaster two or three times a day. Ogden's wife can walk no better. Four weeks at Mrs. Hoffman's at Goshen improved her bodily health but she still drags her left leg behind her. Yet they are still hopeful. With a bountiful harvest and the demand for their grain their farmers will make a good profit this year, as also will the merchants and ship owners. Already business is profitable. For example in muslins, linens, etc. one large importing firm has sold with ten days $423,000. Emma and Eth are well and have had a fuller house this summer.

They are somewhat subject to interruption in the Noviciate. Monroe asks Bayley to obtain for him Noviciate. Monroe asks Bayley to obtain for him a certificate of baptism from the record probably kept in the Cathedral of New York. This event took place about January 21, 1851. If such a record is not there, perhaps Father Thomas S. Preston will certify he is a Christian. This certificate will be very necessary later, if he preserves. Monoroe received a letter from His Grace some days ago. It would be no less than a national calamity if the forces of Monseigneur should fail him at this crisis in affairs. A rumor has reached Monroe that Bayley's brother Carleton Bayley had abjured the Protestant religion. Also that George H. Doane , son of Bishop Doane, had become a Catholic and is in Paris preparing for the ministry. At Rome, Monroe had an interview with Cardinal James Philip Franzoni who spoke of Balyley in the kindest terms. The Cardinal, as well as Mrs. Peter, told of a plan on foot to found a Catholic Seminary in Rome for the Americans. Monroe encloses the accompanying draft for his brother. It seems he is to be a professor in a college Bayley has founded. Monroe's friends will understand nothing of what is meant by vocation. He wonders if Mademoiselle Serena Van Landt has entered the Sisters fo Mercy. A medal which she gave Monroe some years ago was happily lost in Japan. He has most able direction here under Father L.

He hopes she is pleased and interested in Italy. She should see the Catacombs and prepare conversations for the time she will see them. He asks her to give his love to the Filichi. The weather in Carlsruke is like late May, warm towards noon but pleasant in the morning and evening. He outlines his days activities. Since father left he has had a mania for exercise. Every day he walks an hour in the country, which added to his walks to and from the Polytechnic, preserves him in health and develops his leg muscles to hold his own against hostile animals and persons in his travels. He will take her for a walk through the well-kept forests when she comes. She must also visit the castle where Richard the Lion Hearted was confined till Blondel discovered him. It is across the Rhine and a trip of two days so they must stay overnight at Landau where the King of Bavaria has a county seat. He is beginning to learn. When he returns to America he will have a drawing album and be better at German than at English. He and Henry send their love to their father. He remains Em's Italian brother. Explanatory notes written by Robert Seton in 1901. Cardinal Bedini wanted Emily to marry Count Macchi. Robert says it would have been a great thing for him had she done so. All was play, not study.

Ogden doesn't know how he can notify Seton's son when they arrive. They should be accompanied by a bill of lading to him and an affidavit from Seton that they are old books. In the affidavit he should state the marks of the boxes otherwise the boxes will be opened and a duty placed on each foreigh book. The Collector requires these affidavits. They found the silver in the box of books as Seton had stated in his letter. Ogden looked it up till he got Patrick to make room for it in W. Prime vault by removing the trunk. Robert delights all. He is intelligent and gentlemanly. What little attention Ogden has been able to spare him has been a pleasure They part with him with regret and trust he will have a pleasant passage.

He studies very hard and lists his subjects. Bob attends two classes more. They cannot study until they return to their room, and there is only one lamp and one tableround which must gather Madame— she is a witch—myself, Bob, Agathy, Millot, Pollack and Barensohn. Harry does not want to stay in Carlsruke longer than he can help. Wertheim may have told Mr. Seton that Harry is proud. Harry told Wertheim that "we Americans are second to none." Harry laughs when Wertheim says he will turn them out perfect gentlemen, seeing he is not one himself. The bill which he and Bob sent is not as big as it looks and explains its origin. He will spend this and probably the next vacation in Carlsruke. He received a letter from "our dear old hunter," who said he would attend Buchanan's inauguration and write them soon. The girls never send them his letter. "Padre Wertheim" probably has asked Harry's father to stay with him. If William does he will have to put Emy in a room with one of the Wertheim girls. Harry can imagine "the Duchess putting her in a room with fat Agatha Caramba". Emy ought to bring her Italian Christina to keep up her Italian. Harry intends to stay in Carlsruke till he gets his degree. Will can find them work in Illinois. Harry asks if the Duchess amuses herself and tells how glad they will be to see them both. Letters should be sent by Marseilles. He is learning Spanish and understands Gil Blas quite well. He asks to be remembered to old Brogden. They need not be unquiet, he is really studying. He has just come in from Church and writes poorly because his hands are very cold. John is a nice fellow. Harry asks whether his father read an article about the necessity of the cotton to England. Harry "socked old Wertheim about it." Emy should bring her maid. He asks that they be remembered to Emy. Here follows a note from Robert Seton . Bob to his father: Bob does not want to damage Wertheim in his father's opinion, but it is out of the question that he and Emily stay at Wertheim's. Wertheim intends that he pay, but he will be better in a hotel. As a boy and a future traveller Bob says he can stand all he has to at Wertheim's, since the good outbalances the petty grievances. They and Wertheim are on excellent terms. Robert himself and Harry are at the "top of the tree Polytechnic". The Brazilian who thus far reigned supreme now has two rivals.

Their father returning from Rome did not come through Carlsruke but required them to come to Paris to meet him. Robert will send this letter to his father, who left Paris for Havre when they left for Carlsruke. The weather was hot a month ago and all the German's have is beer. Robert and his brother missed their juleps, cocktails, and excelsior soda water. He got some soda water in the Rue de la Pais but it was no good. He may visit the United States in a year, but may see Leon in Europe before then. Perhaps Leon has seen William since he has been in New York. Their ages correspond more closely. Note of 1901: Leon Milhau was the son of Robert's father's old Catholic friend, Mr. Milhau, son of a French count who came to America during the Revolution. Mr. Milhau started a drug store on Broadway in 1813. It has prospered and in 1899 netted $30,000. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

They found out at the glassmakers that the glasses had been sent on schedule. They must have gone astray at the Hotel. If William senior should get them William and Carley will be glad to have them. Robert bought two satisfactory ones of nearly the same size. Their rooms were ready when they arrived. Pictures of the Delaware. Washington, and Franklin hung on the walls. Their smoking jackets were admired at breakfast. Robert is sorry he forgot to shake Louis's hand. But he will return in November. He hopes his father, William, has found Seton and Mary Lee safe. He asks if he can write on half a sheet. He encloses two letters, for Austin and Milhau. The Wertheim's have felt the closed letters and will cause no further trouble. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo. CSET II-1-a Chatard, Frederick U.S. Sloop of War Saratoga, San Juan del Norte, Greytown, Nicaragua, to William Seton 3, Baltimore, Maryland 1857 Jul. 20 Chatard heard with pleasure from his dear Elise of Seton's arrival and that Ferdy Ferdinand Chatard secured him at his house. Chatard expects that Seton will not stay long in the United States as he left Emily Seton and his other dear children in Paris. Chatard hopes some of these days to talk over matters. Manifest destiny has been routed in Lower California, Sonora, Cuba and now in Nicaragua. If Seton could only be there to hear of the horrors committed by William Walker, it would stir up his indignation against those glorious regenerators who go with the torch of enlightenment to weak countries to commit all kinds of outrages. Americans hate Walker as much as the natives. A few days ago, General Jose Maria Canas was on board Chatard's ship; he expressed much sorow for the Fillibusteros. Those Fillibusteros are crowding aboard Chatard's ship with claims of American citizenship and he has been ordered to receive them. Chatard fears President James Buchanan is a Fillibustero. Chatard supposes Seton knows nothing of Greytown, except of the heroic act of George H. Hollins . If Seton knew, he would pity Hollins for committing such a disgraceful act. White, agent for the Transit Company, Fabino Corsul a bad fellow, and a Senator, Ex-Ambassador Solon Borland used Hollins to gratify their hellish malice. Chatard could name a good many respectable French, English, Italian and American merchants — wicked men. This harbor is a fine one and the Saratoga is one of the largest and best of the sloops. Chatard hopes to keep her for about two years and hopes in November to return to discharge some of his crew. Francis Silas Chatard has turned right off into the narrow way. It goes hard with poor Ferdy but Chatard thinks he is worse off with his son; he thinks Silas ought to have delayed a little longer and tried Paris. Chatard hopes Seton has had a fine time with his friends in Baltimore and had long talks with Elise Chatard who toils hard for her family day and night. It is a melancholy fact that they are too poor and it troubles Chatard much. Pedds is a brave fellow; he wanted much to go with Chatard, but a ship would be his certain ruin. Chatard has a dear little flock at home. This is a dreadful life and if God spares him to see two years' service he will try to hang on to the shore. He wrote to Seton before he left home. They had the pleasure of William Seton 4 's company and they had some long talks. Chatard now has 37 fillibusteros on board, among them Walker's Secretary of State and a surgeon of his army. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 4to. 13 CSET II-1-a Seton, Robert, Carlsruke, Germany, to Emily Seton 1857 Sept. 12, He has deluged her with letters and she has not answered. He begs her to answer this immediately. It is the 12th and she leaves perhaps the 20th. He is going to confession tomorrow. He has thought of her letter and his mind is in conflict between leading the life of a Christian gentleman and indulging my tastes for travelling, and the pricks of conscience which always answered to take up my cross and follow Jesus. He wishes to be a Catholic priest and a missionary. He wants to study at the "holy Propaganda" in Rome. The sooner he leaves Carlsruke the better. He asks her to write Mr. Smith and their father. He asks for advice. P.S. He asks her to tell him how he can best acquaint his father of his resolves. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo. CSET II-1-a Seton, Robert, Paris, France, to William Seton, New York, New York 1857 Sept. 20, Emily has told her father of Robert's desire to go to Rome. He is safe in Rome, perhaps at the Propaganda. He has first come to Paris at Emily's request but is going to Rome as soon as possible. It is not easy to get into the Propaganda. He has written Dr. Smith asking him to help him. He is furnished with letters to persons in Rome. He will go to Pisa to see the Filichi's. Mr. Filichi has written him, He may go to Mass in Rome next Sunday. He visited Mr. De Menan this afternoon, who asked for his father. Robert will visit him again. Robert is glad his father liked his photograph and asks him to send his in return. He exchanged photographs with Hal Henry. He left Henry responsible for 250 francs on my account for dinner, lodging and trades people. Less than 500 francs would not clear him of debt and enable him to begin October without charge. Robert advises his father to write Henry Seton not to live with Griffin much rather with John's gentlemen. As a theological student in Rome he will not spend so much, for all frivolous trifling is out. His father is to take for himself $100 more than he was going to take every year. Robert would like him to save up some for him so that when he becomes a missionary he can pay his own way and not be a burden to the church. He will be happy with enough to pay for a few extra lessons and to give alms.Father Silas Chatard is new in Robert's room. He bet him on the way to dinner. Two Americans were with him, a priest and a young man going to Rome for Theology note in pencil: Dr. Haley, McCauley. The Ladies of the Sacred Heart considered him too young to accompany the girls, so they left at 5p.m. with Uncle Gerry Gerard Caster, of New York. Robert will see them off in the steamer tomorrow at Havre. He tells his father to ask Bill to write him care of Hecker, the best way. He asks his father, himself, to write him and Harry. He will write to aunt Kate. P.S. Robert must have his baptismal certificate. He asks where and in what church he was baptized. He will ask Mr. Filichi, "but if he is not at Pisa?" :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

He was with them three hours and returned to Havre in a boat taking off passengers who had gone to Dieppe by mistake. The "Vanderbilt" came in just at the "Fulton" was getting up steam. Father Silas Chatard arrived the other evening at the hotel with a Priest and a Baltimorian going to Rome to study for the priesthood. Father Silas has orders to be in Rome by the beginning of November. Till then he will travel, up the Rhine and will probably see Harry at Carlsruke. Robert advises Harry to clear away their debts. He leaves for Marseilles Friday. Robert asks him to direct letters to care of Monroe till he writes him from Rome. He asks that his love be given Albert Griffin. Respects to the other company. The girls looked well dressed. P.S. in darker ink Harry's October money will come in time. The 150 are extra. Harry must keep in mind how long this October money is to last. Mr. Munroe wants Harry to correspond with him about his needs. Robert advises Harry to ask Munroe for 750 francs, exactly, "for that is the sum I said you would need. If you ask for more you won't get it.". :: II-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

There no good taverns here. The sanctuary is visited only by pilgrims and they always go to some convent. From Foligno they came the 12 miles in a vehicle to themselves. The Sagro Convento and the church of St. Francis from one establishment and is the most glorious thing Robert has seen in Italy, out of Rome. Robert served Mass and received Holy Communion from Dr. Smith. They leave after tomorrow for Perugia. Robert asks will to buy the largest pair of mocassins he can find if he is in New York or if their father or Emily are there yet. They are for Father Smith. Robert has promised him a pair before the winter. If they know of anyone coming to Pairs or Rome, it would be better to let them take the package. If not, they should send it to Smith. The letter is continued from the Benedict Convent of St. Pietro, Perugia, where Robert has just arrived from Caselino. He and Father Smith were driven in one of the carriages belonging to the monastery. They brought back the abbot with them this evening. The abbot takes the title of Count from this place. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

They have been traveling in the Papal States, particularly pilgrimages to the Santa Casa of Loreto and to Assisi. This month is the holiday of all the Roman colleges and Robert will not enter into the Propaganda until next month. It is more than a month since he and Hal parted on the steps of the cars at Carlsruhe. Robert has not received any letters from Henry or Mr. Filicchi. Henry is to tell what he hears from home and how he is getting along at Carlsruhe. Smith and Robert drove out to the villa of Count Conestabill whose wife is a most excellent Irish lady. Robert is living in the Benedictine convent here; Smith belongs to the order. There are two novices from Germany who are going back with them to Rome next Thuesday. Robert will write to Rome. He begs Hal to keep out of bad company and not run into temptation this winter. If he is lonely he should be off to Illinois where he would be near their father and the girls. He can of course stay alone in Carlsruhe or go home as he pleases. Robert hopes Hal is living with Mr. Richard; if John were staying longer than next year in Carlsruhe, they could be happy together. Hal is to give Robert's love to Johns and remember him to Griffin and the rest. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo. CSET II-1-a Seton, Robert, Rome, Italy, to Henry Seton Hal, Carlsruhe, Germany 1857 Oct. 29 Robert arrived yesterday from his little journey to Loreto, Assisi, and Perogia. He regretted not hearing from Hal or Mr. Filicchi. This morning he went to Mr. Hooker's and found a letter from Hal. Father Bernard Smith went to the post-office and complained. Robert is sorry that the Ohio Life and Trust has failed. Monsignor Seton adds at a later dates "in which my father had $40,000." They are all to pray that the awful crisis in America may soon pass. Almost all Americans in Europe are hurrying back to America. Robert is not yet in the Propaganda but once he is in he will be able to help their father William Seton 3. . Robert supposes Munroe sent Hall all the October dividend. Robert is glad Henry is living with Mr. Richard. His congratulations are sincere about their noble horses. October is the holiday month with the Colleges; in the Propaganda they spend the month at the country villa of the college at Fraseati. Probably eight to ten years will bring Robert through Propaganda. He entered the Bay of Leghorn at six in the morning. Brigs were creeping out of port; just such ones as brought their grandmother Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton with her dying husband into the same town of Leghorn. Robert went to Pisa and stopped at the Hotel Victoria. He then went to the house where Patrizio Filicchi lives. Filicchi was going to leave for Gubbio in a day and had his sons home from college. If Robert had only received Mr. Smith's letter at Paris, he would have stayed near Filicchi and gone to his sister's villa. As it was, En told him to hurry to Rome. Robert left Pisa next day with his godfather for Leghorn. He saw the window of the room in which he was born and their grandfather's William Seton 2 grave. Rome is nothing to what Robert thought it was. Nothing can give Henry an idea of St. Peter's. Robert told Hal long ago of his presentation to the Pope Pius IX when he came to dine at St. Peter's. Hal is to give Robert's best regards to the Richards, to Mr. Haas and to Hart, and to young Euchholz if he is living with Hal. All Soul's Day. Robert has just returned from ascending into the ball of the Cupola of St. Peter's. It is quite an undertaking, but one must be mighty thin to crawl up.

Whenever Robert's father William Seton 3 and Sister talk about it they conclude that if Robert discovers that his vocation is not for the Church much will be gained by a temporary separation from the world. She was delighted to see the dear girls; they are in Baltimore. Robert's father is there for a few days and says he will send the money although it may be a little while yet before he can do it. Money matters are in a dreadful way there. Robert's affection gives his father great happiness. Harry Seton is home and talks of going to the Mormons. She hopes not, for it is inglorious and dangerous. She thinks he inclines to return to Germany. William Seton 4 is doing well in the West. They expect two men to die at the prison next week, one a Sicilian, Cancemi. Sister blesses God for her knowledge of his language. Poor young Donnelly was hanged on the 8th for murder.

Robert would be glad to know something of Dixon and what Will is doing out there. He hopes Will succeeds in becoming a limb of the law, for in their country jurisprudence is the stepping stone to political importance. It is Will's duty to do what he can to protect the Catholic faith, which suffers somewhat in the United States. Robert gets on very well in the Propaganda; it is a first rate college. Robert had severe chilblains during the winter; last year at Carlsruhe he was entirely free from them. A son of Lord Combermere, the Honorable Mr. Cotlan, was walked out of St. Peter's for some disrespectful behavior during Mass on Palm Sunday. Rome is a grand old place; Robert will be there about 8 years more. Robert will give Will his little rifle, unless Harry Seton desires it. Robert thinks now of Will's Percheron horses. Robert and his father William Seton 3 had a very pleasant drive around old Chartres when they went to find a couple of fine ones.

Robert's reliquary is most beautiful. Mr. Berrian tells her that he thinks Robert has a true vocation for the priesthood. It is a very serious step to take. Does Robert see Emily Seton often? She is a dear creature. Robert's father William Seton 3 stays at the old farm and bears his affliction with wondrous grace. He talks of going again to Europe. P.S. Robert is to write and tell her the terms for students going to the American College. There is a fine young fellow there who wishes to go but his Irish parents fear the expenditure. J.

Robert is glad that Willy mentioned that he was going to Communion. Robert expects to read Huc's two books of travel at Frascati where the Propaganda has its country house. Robert sometimes thinks of their daily walk to Gottesberg, and their trip to Europe, Scotland, and Dieppe. Robert advises Willy to take to the law in good earnest. In Willy's next letter he should tell Robert about Dixon. Robert does nothing in class but Latin and some Greek. He will try to keep up his French, but his Spanish is gone, the Italian finished that up. He has no hopes of being able to keep up his German. If he goes to Bishop Bayley's diocese it would be of great use. No name is better known among Catholics in America than that of Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton . It is Will's duty to hold himself up in public opinion as a worthy grandson of such a holy person. June 27. Robert would be glad to see Willy there on a visit; there is time to think over it between this and autumn. Such a visit would be worth the trouble and expense. The students in the Propaganda are divided into cameratas; this year Francis Silas Chatard is with Robert but they will be separated soon because the scholastic year is coming to a close. Robert still keeps notes. They have excellent eating and take plenty of exercise. Robert answered Lanscort but does not expect to hear from him again. There is no fear of Robert giving up America, although he may go to Tibet as a missionary. A certain Father Issac T. Hecker was there last winter; he wrote two very able articles on Catholicism in the United States, first published in the Civileà Cattolica. Robert hopes they cleared up several false ideas the Europeans labored under with respect to America. In Will's answer, he is to tell all about Dixon. He supposes will opened his eyes at the idea of opening a school at Dixon. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 4to. CSET II-1-a Seton, William 3., Clairvaux, Maryland, to Robert Seton, Rome, Italy 1858 Jul. 16 William has received Robert's letters. Robert tells that he has been reading a "certain book". William more than forgives Robert every fault of his life and asks to be forgiven for all his faults toward Robert. A few days ago their dear, no longer little, girls arrived from Georgetown; Hal Harry Seton went for them. They had 12 book prizes between them. Robert would be astonsished to see how Nell Helen Seton has grown and Isabel Seton too. Sweet Elizabeth Seton continues very well and grows a little too. They expect soon to have William Seton 4 with them for a while. He supposes will has written to Robert about the change in his plans of life - to study law - a course William advised long ago. Will seems greatly attached to the West. Hal remains there and seems happy but there is too much "Dolce far niente" in his life there. William was up early with all the girls to Mass on the Hill and stopped near the spot where his mother Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton reposed from her worldly labors, company with Anina, Catharine, Rebecca and his aunts Harriet and Cecilia 50 years ago. William was then 12 years old, still at St. Mary's, Baltimore. The poor French missionary, Father Charles du Hamel inhabited the little log cabin where they were then. William is invited to dine at San Marino. He has promised Isabel to let her add a word. By Isabella: She thanks Robert for his letter and sends her love. Continued by William: He had a nice dinner with Mr. Tiers an old Mountain boy. Emily is very well; always going about doing good. Monsignor Seton in 1890 added the following note on this letter: Clairvaux was a boarding house near Mt. St. Mary's. The "certain book" is the life of Mother Seton by Dr. White. :: II-1-a A.L.S.

They were followed by a crowd of "ragazzinos", the juvenile idlers of the village. Lizzie is to tell Em that he thought of Fuente Arabia but in Spain the juveniles were more importunate. The Propaganda students arrived in Frascati August 31. When Temple Prime was there he took a ride about the town. Robert intends to keep up his Latin, study his German hard, read Huc's books and recruit his strength. None of them need expect any more photographs from Robert until he is a priest. He sent a single one of himself with the things Mr. Hooker sent to Prime and Co. He half expects them all out there before long. He is rather indifferent, a missionary must not care much about ties of family. Perugia is a place which might be most desirable. He and Father Bernard Smith spent a week there last October. A splendid house for the Sacred Heart was just completed and Robert thought of Nell and Isabel. Father Smith could give a letter to the first society in Perugia, Countess Connestabile-Staffa Conestabili. This lady is Irish and her husband is a very pleasant gentleman. They have three children and the finest picture gallery in Perugia. Robert procured a copy of "Dred" for the Countess, in return for which she expressed the pleasure she would have in doing what she could for any of his family who might come to Perugia. Robert would rather see Lizzie and their father there than in Wales. He thinks Nell might write to him and also Em.

Only this morning Robert was the subject of his meditations in his walk after Mass. He passed the Clairvaux gate and went to Creighton's lane, a spot he can never pass without being overwhelmed with recollections of the tenderest and most painful kind. Robert knows who he saw there walking by his side, the big boys running and their Benjamin stopped in the corner of the fence to hide his tears. Robert probably often thinks of their dear lost one and prays for her. Robert is probably now at his summer residence at Frascati and will remain until October. Written between the lines of the above: … Hooker will tell where to find him. If they can get permission to enter the girls at Monte Pincio, they will be there in December or January, remain two years, and then go to Vienna two years more, when they may come home safely and speaking Italian and German and knowing how to behave themselves in society. William does not like the intimacies they form at school there. Robert will have them somewhat under his eye as he will probably visit them once a week. The girls are now at Eden Hall under the Ladies of the Sacred Heart where they will be well taken care of until he can get them off.

Seton will see Father Joseph Plunkett . Seton no doubt knows Dornin. Barney is First Lieutenant of the Yard and married Dornin's daughter. Robb, the commander, is an intimate friend of Chatard. Chatard would like to join Seton there, but he is too poor. He encloses a little scrap no enclosure. Seton will observe that Chatard acted exactly in accordance with it. He did not interfere except in case of protection to American citizens. Everybody tells Chatard he acted right. Secretary Isaac Toucey admitted to Robert McLean that the Department had acted hastily. He said he could not give Chatard a command just now because the officers restored by the President were to be emplyed first. After a while Chatard will be employed. Seton is to show the scrap to Plunkett and return it. What about Old Mse?. Chatard hopes Seton will not say, or, that Fred bores him. P.S.

They have only one priest, Father Joseph Plunkett . The Setons are the only Catholics in the house besides Mrs. M'Clenahan who knew Robert at Clairvaux. Portsmouth is the great naval station; the "Pennsylvania" lies near the yeard and the "Delaware" lies close by. Their father's William Seton 3 eye fills with tears as he speaks of his gallant ship. He knows many of the officers and the Commodore has offered the service of the boats and men when they wish to visit the ship.

The letter of the Superior encouraged him to hope that they would try to make such arrangements as his age and infirmities may require. The sum mentioned will meet all his wants and hopes. The thought of his reaching the monastery before long consoles him. He promises many prayers for the family whose generosity has done so much for him.

Their time in Paris was taken up in going from convent to convent, but Willie William Seton 4. at last decided on going to Germany to Ems where Emily is to take the waters for three weeks. She really feels quite well again. Willie left them on the 22nd and started homeward in the "Arage" on the 24th. He is the most unselfish person in the world. Emily had a letter from their father William Seton 3. dated August 15, Norfolk, in which he says his face has proved more stubborn than expected and his stay may be prolonged; he has great faith in the treatment Captain Armstrong persuaded him to try. Emily can hardly say when precisely they will be in Rome as their father may delay leaving America till November. The time of Emily's visit to Ireland has also been changed, Mrs. Lalor, her old school friend now asking her for the middle of November. When they leave Ems in two weeks, they will go to Carlsruhe with Harry Seton . To see Father Bernard Smith, Emily must be in Paris at the end of October. Mme. Davidoff told her of Mrs. Murray, a convert of excellent family where she could take rooms. She has not received the letter from Smith which Robert mentions. Robert's note given her by M. de Beffroy, rejoiced Emily's heart. Emily has Isabella Seton entirely with her and has to be careful of her as she is too fond of the world. Their passage in the "Ariel" lasted 13 days. Dr. Metcalf insisted on her going early in July but at last she had to go without their father. Emily keeps Harry in "leaders" and makes him go to early Mass. Ems is a beautiful place, their days are very regular. Their father mentioned the death of poor Frank which gave them all pain. He was a favorite with them all. Emily feels so for Aunt Eliza. A loss in that family seems almost like one in their own. Emily thought Father Smith might wish to speak to her of the girls; perhaps it might be too late to receive them at the Trinità. She should put Isabel at Paris October 15 when the school commences at the Rue de Varennes. Isabel and Harry send love and kind remembrance to Francis Silas Chatard . :: II-1-a A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.

Mr. Bailey Carleton Bayley? did not like to let the colt go but he is to allow Dickson in harvest the $40 he was to give for it. The two mares are in a wretched state of poverty. The French mare was so bad Dickson thought she would not recover. He would like Seton to send him the full pedigree of the Emperor stud horse. Bailey says Seton took it with him when he left there. William Lawson wanted to buy the Santee mare, but would not give more than $100. Dickson asks how Seton prospers in New York and when he will come West to see them again. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

Bill William Seton 4. sent them a note from Robert; they are always eager to hear from their absent ones. Their father William Seton 3. is much better; he has been dieting a little lately. It made their father happy to know that Harry Seton is in such good company as Mr. Berrian . Has Hal already left Robert? Robert is to tell Emily Seton that her letters are most interesting. Bill comes on Friday and stays until Monday; he is grand! He bought a very handsome boat last week, the "Adventure". Elise has done as Robert desired about the cost of arms. Uncle Sam and the Setons in general are well. Fanny and Lilla have come back from Florida and are staying on their old place which is soon to be rented. Aunt Kate Mother Catharine Seton is well and speaks of Robert in the most affectionate terms. Nell and Bill leave the first week in June; Bill glories in the idea of seeing Robert again. David is steady at his plough; Elise fears old Harry may die before he gets through. Isabel Seton has written lately. They are having a garret made under the roof. There is a great fuss about the great convention. Bill is very anxious to hear the result and thought to go down to Charleston to hear the speeches. Before she closes, Elise will run over to the big house and get a few violets for Robert. She and Nell had a long siege at Parmleys of ancient memory. Elise and their father intend to start for the West a week or so before Bill and Nell sail. Bill says it will come strange to direct letters to Dixon, Illinois. Old Uncle Tommy came to see them in the winter and spoke of Robert, his favorite. Johnny Ennis has grown into a fine young lad; he works in a grocery store and makes $200 a year.

He has been in Venice for two weeks and believes he has seen everything. The inside of St. Mark's displeases him as much as the outside pleases him. Bell Isabel Seton? must have been enraptured as she has a penchant for white coats. Harry has not been able to find Count MacDonnell 's whereabouts. Some say he is still in Ireland, others that he is in Germany. Harry was at a reunion last evening at the home of Marshal Nugent's daughter. Harry asks to thank Cardinal Altieri for the welcome his letter procured from Nugent. Harry is not certain whether he will remain here or go to Bohemia. Going to Bohemia would deprive him of seeing his family which he would enjoy were he to be stationed in Venice. Politically there is nothing new in Rome. They have contradictory reports about Garibaldi. Harry had the pleasure of meeting Bishop Quin; they visited some of the palaces, among others the Duchess of Berry's. Harry wrote more than a week ago to his sister and to Robert Seton but has received no answer. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

As Willy William Seton 4. leaves this week, Bayley takes the opportunity to write. Upon receipt of Seton's letter he applied to the Archbishop who kindly grant-an exeat so that now Seton belongs to the Diocese of Newark. If Father McCloskey wishes, Bayley will send a formal document authorizing whatever Bishop may be designated to confer upon Seton the different orders as he is called to them. Bayley has granted Henry Braun, a student of the diocese at present at Paris, permission to go to Rome and finish his studies at the American College in Rome. Bayley will forward the money for Braun's "pension" by Patrick Hennesy of Mt. St. Mary's, a student of Newark diocese, who will proceed to Rome next autumn. Bayley has transferred Seton Hall College from Madison to South Orange and he intends to unite a preparatory seminary to it. He has given the present College at Madison to the Sisters of Charity for a Motherhouse. He sends his regards to Seton's rector and to his young friend, Michael Augustine Corrigan of whom he received so favorable an account. P.S.

His father and Liz will be delighted to hear Wil talk about his vacation. Robert's health is very good and he can say the same of Emily Seton and Isabel Seton . Robert fears that his father and ELizabeth Seton must have been very dull at the cottage since Nel Helen Seton and Wil left. Wil is a fine fellow.

Robert is to tell Emily Seton that will saw Madam Leveque but Madame Davidoff was engaged and will had to leave. Helen received a long letter from ELizabeth Seton this morning and the Cragdonians are well and happy. Their father has had a boat built called the "Isabella". Liz has been spending a short time with Hattie Ogden at Milburn. Professor Caspar J. Beleke and Mr. Berrian spent a week at Cragdon and admired it amazingly. Is not Robert Ray 's death sad.

Affairs are gloomy. Robert writes to calm any apprehension for their safety. Although for a while it was thought the Pope Pius IX would have to leave Rome, later accounts speak of large reinforcements of French troops. May the fear of what the Congress of Warsaw will decide actuate Garibaldi to keep his promise, at least in the Pope's case. Most of the colleges have returned to Rome and they still remain in the country. Rome is not in proximate danger. Although Wil reads infamous accounts concerning de La Moriciere, sooner or later the truth will out that the reason for these stories was to incite public opinion against de La Moriciere and his troops. However, the royal troops have licked the Garibaldians at last. Mazzine, Everazzi, Victor Hugo, and others of that vile stamp have congregated in Naples as vultures hover over quarry. As an American citizen, Robert is ashamed of Edward Everett for the way he spoke in his oration in the Academy of Music and his answer to a toast in Faneuil Hall last July 4. Robert will not send a translation and leader of the "Armoria" of Turin entitled "the 13 consciences of Napoleon" for which that journal was confiscated. Robert is ashamed of the insulting language in one of the late numbers of the "Freeman's Journal" against President James Buchanan . A Catholic paper should not offer the public an opportunity of charging Catholic citizens of being disloyal. Father William McCloskey has given Robert permission to spend next vacation in America. It is only a question of money whether he goes or not. He hopes he can spend a few weeks out west at Dixon. He sends his love to his father, Liz, Uncle Sam, the Setons.

If Elizabeth were there she would help Em make "charpie" for "les Braves". Robert should hear Bill talk of Robert's intended visit to him next vacation, a little trip to hunt buffalo included. Carly Carleton Bayley is in town for three weeks or so. Bill is thinking of going out with Bayley on an inspection tour to Dixon. Bill lives with them altogether now, preparing to pass the bar. They went chestnutting - the same old tree Robert and Hal used to climb. Alice Wilks? just sailed for Europe so Em will probably hear of her. Robert is to tell IsaBell Seton that Elizabeth received her last letter. Yesterday Elizabeth, Harriet Ogden, and Mr. Rogers went to West Point. The Prince of Wales was there also.

Robert has not seen her for a long time but he learned from Father Smith that he had received a letter from her. Robert wrote William Seton 4. some few days ago. He directs all his letters to his father even if they are for Wil or Elizabeth Seton . Except for the political news being so bad Robert would have nothing but agreeable things to write. The American College does very well and numbers 40 students. The rector is most kind and not as strict as Robert first imagined. Dr. Burridge will have a good practice from their College. He is already well thought of in Rome. Last Thursday Robert saw the Queen Mother of Naples and her sons and daughters in St. Peter's. Another year he saw a king and queen in the same church, but he had little sympathy for the King of Prussia and his apostate wife. Robert would not advise his father to settle in Italy.

At that time there were only 12, at present there are forty. A portion of their College has not been renovated and it is at present tenanted by Papal Zouaves and Irish soldiers. They do not give the least disturbance. A large number of people waited to see the Pope on the Vigil of the Immaculate Conception and he was greeted with cheers. In Rome there are 4 colleges for educating young ecclesiastics where English is exclusively spoken - the English, Irish, Scotch and American Colleges. And in the Propaganda College no language counts more speakers than their own. Robert feels certain that Emily Seton likes Rome a great deal.

She is to ask Emily Seton if she was at the American Ministry the evening of February 22 and if she saw McCloskey there. Robert will tell her all the news of politics. Robert and Emily went to see the King and Queen of Naples this afternoon. Robert thinks he is not well, but there is not a stronger constitution in the College. Still it will give him a longer vacation and the pleasure of seeing his Father and Elizabeth and William Seton 4., and to run down to the old Mountain. Addie probably writes now and again. Isabel Seton is well; they get on famously. He wonders how Nellie Helen Seton gets on with Madame Davidoff. She must make Robert go to see Susie Green for she will want to know all about Emily and Rome, and the Pope.

Someone stole Carley's boat leaving only an old scow. After dinner he and Carley are going into Dixon. He met the Quartermaster at Brookes. He wants to be remembered to the Colonel and to Henrique's. He took a subscription to the Herald for Will. After leaving Newport News he spent three days at the home of Captain Fred Chatard. Fred is now a Commander in the Rebel Navy. Although he was treated very kindly Robert felt an intense bitterness towards all coercionists as Northerners are called. Robert asks Will not to call on the Chatards because he was distinctly given to understand that the Captain's family would not receive anyone even their dearest friend if he came as a Northern soldier.

He is satisfied to serve out the balance of the war in this regiment and when peace comes he will return to Cragdon. His plan is still for all children to rally round William at Cragdon except Harry Seton. He wants him to stick to Austria. Robert Seton might finish his studies in America. This is no time to travel. When Emily Seton arrives he will get leave to visit Cragdon. William's company is lodged in a good house but he and the Captain live in a tent. The captain is John Beechams from Williamsburg and knows Grim. There are three companies there, one across the river and the remaining 6 scattered along the railroad from there to Baltimore.

Father Thomas Brady then called a meeting of his friends, who contributed $40 to pay the passage home or elsewhere. Mother Angela seeks to know Lefevere's will about this house; the owner is willing to sell it if she can pay a fair payment of $300 - 400, and the remaining $2,000 over 3 or 4 years, with interest until all is paid. If not, the owner intends to fix up the home and live in it. Two girls, willing to come and teach, object to coming without having a convent to live in; she blames Brady for discouraging the people to help them, hoping they must leave. With money already in the bank she could make a first payment of $300. Looking for one or two able to help her in the school, she has written to Father J Hennessey Detroit?

Carley and he went up to Iowa to see Will's property. They went by rail to Cedar Rapids, and drove to Moungo the same night. At Moungo they slept in a small country inn. They took a cab the next day and drove some eight miles out of the village, right on to Will's property. Four acres might become valuable. They are prairie land, not a tree diversified the landscape, and about a mile and a half from habitation. Aubarn, a little hamlet is 3 miles away. Previously an attempt was made to plant a settlement but the settlement broke up and was transferred to Moungo. There is enough water on and adjacent to the land to supply cattle and afford snipe shooting. Robert advised Will to hold on to the land, since all the taxes have been paid.

They lunched and then all visited the Hall. Close to it is the church, the living of which is in the Cayley gift; prior to the Reformation it had been a Catholic church.

They are obliged to pay for their new "Erard" before May 20, so Robert should answer immediately. General John Gray? Foster has been gaining victory upon victory and is now Military Governor of North Carolina. He sent Mrs. Foster a horse he captured and she sent it to them to keep. The Jordans leave on April 1, to the great joy of everyone. Jordan is now on trial at White Plains for assault and battery on one of their workmen. He has hired the Bissel farm, right below their orchard; rather too close a neighbor. Bill William Seton 4. has moved to Baltimore; before long he will be in the Regulars. Has Robert received his box? ` P.S. Robert can direct his answer here as Aunt Emma moves on May 1. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo. CSET II-1-a Bailey, Carleton, Uplands, Illinois, to Robert Seton, Rome, Italy 1862 May 16 Just as Carleton was about to write Father Arnold Damen, S.J. arrived to give a retreat. During the nine days of the retreat Damen brought back to their duty some 200 persons; also 600 who had attended to duties. Bailey concluded to write Robert about Grace Bailey and Robert can tell her the conclusion they have come to. Bailey would not want to do anything in respect to changing her school without Rosy's Bishop James Roosevelt Bailey approval and as he will not be back until September unless Robert writes to Bell Isabel Seton and has her speak to him and know what he thinks of it. If the war continues much longer Bayley will have to bring her home. Where is Harry Seton? Bayley has been hoping he would make them a visit. He wants to send Master William Seton 4. some money, but fears the man will not pay without the note to endorse. Kate and Rosy, Jr. are very well. Emma is improving slowly. Father Damen administered the Sacraments to her. ` P.S. Cannot some of them come out with Harry? Will is to send Bailey the note Emma wrote to Grace yesterday but said nothing about change of school. Monsignor Seton adds the note that the letter is from Cousin Carleton Bailey whose farm in Illinois was called Uplands. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo. CSET II-1-a Seton, Elizabeth Elise, Cragdon, New York, to Robert Seton, Rome, Italy 1862 May 16 Robert's letter of April 12 with note to Mr. Stewart was received on May 6. She is very thankful for his assistance and promises a speedy reimbursement as soon as Nell Helen Seton comes of age. One of Robert's Brooklyn sixes bonds paid $988. They have paid for the piano. Last week their Father William Seton 3. sent Robert a bill for $600 to pay Isabel Seton's expenses. Bell can be there by the last of June. Emily Seton is greatly disappointed that Madame Branda will not come with Belle. Harry Seton left last week for Baltimore. William Seton 4. writes he is now at the Mountain. Harry has a good chance of getting on the staff of General Gibbon, General John Gray Foster's brother-in-law. Robert speaks of visiting them in '63 and should tell them at what time Grace Bailey will secure Robert for a few weeks at Uplands. Little Roosevelt Bailey spent a few days with them last week. They have 2 Indian ponies and a Virginia mare lent them by Mrs. Foster, captured by the General. Emily has some cotton growing out of which she intends to make Father Bernard Smith a handkerchief. The Henrys occupy the cottage and like it very much; the children spend most of their time with the Setons. So Robert's famous box reached him at last. The $200 Elizabeth borrowed last winter form Robert to pay the grocer was part of his February dividend as she sent only $150 which was his share of the rents. Bill's boat is on the creek; they hope it will be caulked and painted before Harry comes back. Their father looks very well. She encloses the letter of exchange, $600 for Bell. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 16mo. CSET II-1-a Seton, Robert, Rome, Italy, to Father William Seton, _____ 1862 May 27 Robert has received his Father's letter and will treasure it. Isabel is well and has improved, though not as a student but as a Catholic lady. He started to write to Will but since he is in America he has put his letter aside and will write some other time. He wishes Will to let him know his intentions, pledging secrecy on anything confidential. If Will does not succeed in getting an appointment Robert advises him to offer himself to some General in the advance as a volunteer aid, willing to pay his own expenses, trusting to chance of distinguishing himself and having his name honorably mentioned. He recognizes Lizzie's handwriting on the subscription of his Father's letter and concludes that she and Em have safely returned from Washington. He tells Liz in detain how to address him. He sends love to the girls and once again stresses economy. He received the bill of exchange from his father. Isabel has a good deal to pay for schooling and her voyage home will take a good sum, so it is necessary that Em and Lizzie spend sparingly. As for himself, Robert could not be more comfortable in Rome. However his expenses are not light for he must pay 260 dollars a year for board and an unfurnished apartment, and everything else he must pay for himself. He is taking German lessons. Very few Bishops have arrived as yet from the United States. He hopes their cousin from Newark will arrive within a few days. Dr. Smith is as kind as ever and has helped him out of difficulties. Mme. Granda asks a great deal after Em as does the portress [sic]. He looks back on the happy days he and his father spent at Cragdon and remembers the mint juleps and the long walks in the country. Next summer they will, God willing, meet again for a few more happy days. Robert has received the first numbers of the resuscitated New York Freeman's Jouornal. He does not like the tone of it about the war but our country can afford not to notice such angles as Pere Huc. He would be much obliged to Liz for a year's subscription and also the monthly Rebellion Records. He now takes the Weekly Herald but since once a week is too seldom to get detailed knowledge of the United States, he wants Liz to subscribe to a semi-weekly paper for him. He avidly devours all news of the current war. History cannot record in any age so grand a demonstration of energy, military adaptability and patriotism on th epart of both North and South. The weather in Rome is not unpleasant. Bishops and priests from everywhere are arriving daily. Garibaldi has made an Escapade up near the Tysol which came near hastening the final issue for Italy. When Austria can come to an understanding with Prussia, she will probably commence operations. The present state of the peninsula cannot last long. The Kind of Sardinia returned to Turin on hearing of the Brescia affair in a demonstration in Naples. The Pope is still in the Vatican in spite of the Garibaldinians, Mazzinians, Piedmontese and all the rest of the villainous crew who have pirated the Arsonian ship. Robert sends love to Aunt Catherine and wishes to be remembered to Griffin, Corky, Bagley and Uncle Samuel. ` P.S. He has recently heard from Mr. Filicchi who asked for his Father. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo. CSET II-1-a Seton, Robert, Rome, Italy, to William Seton, East Chester, New York 1862 Jul 5 Yesterday was Independence day and Robert hopes that if McClellan did not toast the Union in Richmond, he did do something to astonish the Rebels. He follows the progress of the Union Army in crushing the Rebellion in the pages of the weekly Herald and even other papers containing a word about America. He has not yet read Brownson's last number which only arrived. Robert thanks Wil for his letter of April 30th. He hopes that Congress will make provision for connecting New York City or New Orleans by way of the Lakes. In an article the London Times expresses fears lest the United States is preparing for war against England. He hopes that the United States is secretly fortifying the Straits of Mackinac. Accompanying Isabelle to Civitta Veackia, he saw two shiploads of Gallic cannon fodder leave for Toulon en route to Mexico. It appears by latest intelligence that the emperor will lay by at Martinique until the hot season has passed and in October make an example of Mexico. Robert wonders if by that time the United States will be better able to have a say in the argument. Robert wants Will to write him all the camp news not murderously bitter but a cool interesting letter. Bishop James Bailey will, when he returns to the United States, aid Will in getting an appointment in the Regular Army. Robert will not write news of Rome because Will can get that in the public prints. Robert would like a long letter from Will every now and again. Robert inquires about the whereabouts of Fritz Prime. The Holy Father told Robert that he would pray for Wil. Robert prays for Wil. He feels an obligation to every man who is defending his country. The American minister, Governor Randall of Wisconsin has arrived. He hopes to be in the United States by the end of July. He examined yesterday for the twentieth time the topographical map of uplands and its vicinity. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo. CSET II-1-a Roberts, M _____ , Norfolk, Virginia, to Elizabeth Seton Lizzie, Cragdon, New York 1862 Aug 4 Notwithstanding all the trouble the Civil War has caused that old grandma, Roberts feels that Lizzie is yet the same and is not forgotten. The time appears long since she has heard anything from Lizzie or Nelly Helen Seton. Roberts learned through a letter from Bridgget that they were still at Cragdon. Roberts wrote when the steamer came with the flag of truce previous to the opening of the mails, but not hearing, concluded that Lizzie had crossed the Atlantic to join her sister. Since they parted there have been so many changes. One of the greatest governments ruptured by a usurper Abraham Lincoln. Had he allowed the So9uthern people to leave in peace, no doubt long ere this a reconstruction of the union would have been made. Lincoln is trying, perhaps, to declare himself Emperor of America. This house has been full of sick Confederate soldiers since last May, until the Federals came and took possession. Roberts wants to get out but does not know where to go. The blockade and the stoppage of the mails cut off all communication. If she were to attempt to go to Missouri it would be such a risque, deaf as she is. The house has very few patients in it now, but she thinks they are making preparation for a full house. Nelly is to write her; absence does not conquer love. She has communicated to Lizzie as freely as ever. Does Lizzie ever write to Sister B.? Sister Terencia is yet there and Roberts does not know how the house would do without her. Sister Turibius is at Portsmouth with five or six other Sisters who came from Baltimore to nurse the Federals. She sends respects to their Father. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo. CSET II-1-a Bayley, Grace, Uplands, Illinois, to Helen Seton Nita, Cragdon, New York 1862 Oct 4 No doubt she would have received Nita's letter sooner had not Papa Carleton Bayley been down at the State Fair at Decatur. One of his exploits there was to taste 22 kinds of Illinois wine. Nita is to tell William Seton 4. that it is a pity he was not with him. She thinks of them all every day; she has been awaiting an answer to her last letter to Nita and also Lizzie Elizabeth Seton. She supposes that though Harry Seton has been drafted, he will not go. No doubt Mr. Anderson will be on the list also. She has commenced to study again; Emma teaches her French. She hopes to ride a great deal especially if Liz comes out with Willie. Grace often thinks of Emily Seton and how she teased Grace about a certain person. Nita must have a great deal of pleasure now as the house is so full of company. Grace sends her love to Cousin Seton William Seton 3.; Nita is to tell Bell Isabel Seton that Grace is sorry to see she disturbs trot in such a violent way. She was glad to hear that Herman Bibby called at Cragdon. She sends her love to Aunt Ethie and remembrance to Mr. and Mrs. Austin. ` P.S. If Willie wants money before he comes out, Papa will send him an order. Monsignor Seton has added the notes: From Grace Bayley, afterwards Mrs. Shoenley? of Newark; "Uplands" was Carleton Bayley's farm near Dixon. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.

Liz is still in Robert's debt $493. She hopes to replace all before next July. Robert's letters to the Freeman's Journal they all read with pleasure. William Seton 4. is not quite over his wounds and is still with them. Hal Harry Seton is not well yet and keeps Will company. Robert is to thank Father William McCloskey for his letter and ask Willie Poole if his sister Agnes and brother Frank cannot spend the holidays with them. If he could write to the Sisters it would be well as they are rather scrupulous about letting her leave the convent.

William Seton 4. goes West with Father George McCloskey and a party after Easter when the 4th is mustered out of service. Harry Seton is still in his room. Will made a start to go but met Colonel Mc G. in town and waits to return. Robert's dividend was $350, but exchange is so high it only brought 51 pounds.

He gladly complies with Lefevere's wish. Regarding Northfield, Michigan Father Edward Van Paemel thought it too much for him as he has too much beside it. It is impossible for either of them to attend it rightly as it is the largest congregation from Detroit to Jackson. Van Paemel's missions are all on the railroad except Northfield, are used to being attended only now and then and he has no conveyance. Van Gennip's missions take him from Dexter to Sylvan to Grass Lake, to Waterloo, Unadilla, Pinkney, Hamburg, and some lesser stations. He performs this circle about once a month. Dexter would feel mortified to be attended but every other Sunday. Van Gennip thinks his expenses of horse and buggy outweigh Van Paemel's. If Lefevere wishes him to take Northfield he is ready. If he receives no answer he will deem that Van Paemel is at Northfield as before. :: II-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.

His gratitude will not soon be forgotten. He sent them to his wife and now that she has returned them, Michel will answer. He intends to leave for London next Saturday; this heart is torn with the thought that he will never again find there his friend W. Turnbull. He will talk with the many converts whom he knows and a Spanish monk whom he visits. In July Michel will leave for Edinburgh and Glasgow and hopes to talk about Robert with the gentlemen Robert has named.

William Seton 4. left for Huntingdon to visit Charley Prime, but intends to be back in time to write by this mail. Elise would not wonder if Will walked off some morning; he is tired of an inactive life. Elise heard from Kate Chatard that she is engaged to Mr. Ward, the widower of Josey Dugan. Old Madame Chatard is dead. Continued June 16.: Elise and Emily Seton went to town today; they saw Aunt Kate Sister Catharine Seton who is quite well. Harry Seton has just returned from a fish on the creek; he divided the fish with Mrs. Kemp The papers are full of another rebel raid. They are within 20 miles of Harrisburg. There is another call for 100,000 men. General John Gray Foster is very enthusiastic and is raising colored regiments. Ned Austin and wife are to spend 4th of July week with them. Peter Jay who has a regiment of militia has invited the girls to his house for that day. They now have a sailboat in which they can make short excursions.

They had a party of skaters from Mount Vernon, mostly friends of Dr. Gregory. A little girl fell in and Harry Seton jumped after her. Last night they had a moonlight skate, their own family, the Kemps the Monroe boys and Jimmy Kane from the gate cottage. William Seton 4. thinks of riding over to the Griffin's; Edmund Griffin is not well. Lillian Griffin was there yesterday with her sister and carried off "Woolsey"; they still have 12 dogs on the place. A few days ago, Nell Helen Seton, Isabel Seton, and Will went to a party in New York at the Young's, an uncle of Lilian Griffin. They have invitations to Aunt Jay's in New York.

The Dr. is sore about the way Catholics believe he should be persecuted because he is anti-slavery! Catholics are pretty badly compromised with the Copperheads. Archbishop John Baptist Purcell is a glorious exception. William is getting ready to enter his law office in New York. He can get a commutation ticket for $60 a year, office rent about $175.

About the Austrian consul, Will can take all Harry's dividend; he does not want any money down here. If Ned Austin can sell the Brooklyn Jamaica stock, he had better do so and partially pay the tailor bill with it until Harry can send money from here. This goes by paymaster Latelle U.S.N. so Will will get it. Harry got Eddie's letter. In his address Will is not to leave out New York as the 54th Massachusetts is also there. Will is to send down his straw hat at Emma's and his blue coat. If Bob Robert Seton, Will, and Ned could come down in June it would be fine. He must board the gunboat Racer by 8. ` P.S.

If they do come Ned is to box him up 6 bottles of whiskey and 6 of sherry and some kummel. Eddie may send some bonbons and the girls some cake. He can always send $50 per month home. If the money is not wanted at home it is to be invested. Their Father of course must get Harry's income. Six rebel deserters came into camp this morning, and told of a battle in Virginia in which Grant broke Lee's center. If Ned or Will can find a cheap "segar" they are to invest $20 for him. He sent a paper from Hilton Head. Their Colonel thinks of going to New York next week and may visit Cragdon. If he does they are to treat him high for Harry's sake. Nelly Helen Seton is to give Harry's love to Molly Post when she writes. He is anxiously waiting a glimpse of Liza's handwriting. They say they are going to make a move on some of the rebel fort's on Cole's Island. Has anyone paid Mrs. Kemp a visit? Life is pretty monotonous; they go on picket about once every 10 days. The girls are to give his respects to Reichner and tell him his shoulder straps are the prettiest in the department. ` Continued on May 16, 1864: ` He is with 48 men on picket duty on Kiawah Island. They will be relieved tomorrow. Yesterday some rebels showed themselves too saucily, so Harry gave them chase. Harry was very sorry to hear of Edmund Griffin's death; he sends his consolations to Lillian. He asks how Will enjoyed himself at Nina Temple's. He sends his love to Charley Miller and asks if the Hargons have any dogs. He sent Will an answer about the Austrian consul by Paymaster Latelle, U.S.N. Harry needs no money down there. He wrote to Eddie some days ago; did she receive his letter? Will is to tell Ned to write. Letters are at a premium on Folly Island; they serve to raise one's spirits. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo.

He has flown to Yorktown, hoping to be in at the death of Secession. He holds a commission as Captain in the 16th New York Artillery. He went without even saying goodbye to anyone or letting them know what he had done. He enjoined Elise not to tell. He could not stay home any longer! He hopes that the war may end soon; Bob may be there for the meeting. Harry Seton is still at Folly Island. General John Gray Foster is now in command of the Southern Department and is anxious to get Harry on his staff. Nat Prime has been wounded in the neck; he is at Rye. They must go see him for the family called on Will after Antietam. Dr. Brownson's son Edward Patrick Brownson was also wounded and is now at home. Elise will go to Saddlier's about the back numbers; she trusts Robert will be with them before the July number is due. Will will tell her what to do about Robert's money. The dividends are quite large this quarter. Robert will get $300. Harry has not had his carte de visite taken; perhaps there may be photographers at Folly Island. His regiment is mostly composed of Hungarians with German officers, a kind of rifle corps as Harry has green straps and stripes. Willie's are red. The first letter to Hal will find out about Robert's Carlsruhe affairs. "Les Ecossais en France" was received last October from Mrs. John King; they also received George Seton's book on heraldry. Will will write Robert from Yorktown any war news. Their Father still waits the taking of Richmond to hoist their little flag. The family at the other house are very pleasant. Elise and Robert must go to Greenwood again when he comes. Cragdon seems more beautiful than ever this year. Uncle Sam is as jolly as ever. Father George McCloskey has promised them a visit shortly. Think of Charley Lee being stationed at Fort Schuyler and their not knowing it until he left. They can plainly see the flags on Hart Island from the piazza and hear the drums beat.

It gave her much regret not to see his sisters. She has not been able to hear of any place such as they wanted. If William should hear of anything desirable and not over $5000 at Yonkers or nearer New York he is to drop her a line to Dr. Jonathan Letterman care of the Medical Director's office, Philadelphia.

He hopes Harry will not be ordered to Virginia in his present state of health. They spent a pleasant day at Cragdon. Austin wishes Harry were there so they could sail out to Fort Schuyler or further. General John Gray Foster has finished his expeditions. If Harry has not received his package he is to write Charles E. Fuller, Quarter Master at Hilton head.

Their new Archbishop of New York, John McCloskey is winning golden opinions from all by his prudent zeal and cautious manners. There has been a continual succession of dinners but he make time to visit the churches, religious houses and institutions. Bayley has no doubt that he will accomplish much for religion. In New Jersey most of the Catholics are mechanics and servants. Many of the men have gone to war, and three times as many have gone to Canada, Australia, and California to avoid the draft. Seton Hall College and the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity are doing very well. They are building a fine church at Camden and another in Newark. He is told that there are rumors of peace, but does not attach much importance to them at present. He called to see Robert's Father and the girls New Year's week and was surprised to see William Seton 3. looking so well. They said Robert had made up his mind to some home next summer. Willy William Seton 4. comes out to see Bayley now and then, and is in good health and spirits. Robert seems to be laying in such a fund of learning that Bayley does not know what they will do with him when he gets there. There is a rumor that they are to be invited to Rome again to assist at another canonization, but Bayley thinks it is a false one. It would be impossible for most of them to get away at this time. The letter of Pope Pius IX has been much garbled in the English translation. Bayley sends regards to Dr. Smith and Father McCloskey. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

Their vessel struck a bar about 4 P.M. They had about ten ladies with them and managed to land them on a sand island before dark, without swamping any boats except one which capsized in the breakers. They had to build a fire to guide the remaining boats. They remained on the island about 6 hours when their blue lights and guns at last attracted the attention of the people of St. Augustine who reported to the commander and sent 6 or 7 boats in which most of them reached a very good supper by 3 A.M. at the famous Colonel Buffington's. Harry bought the girls some palmetto work in St. Augustine. The officer taking this letter will also give William Seton 4. the power of attorney. Charley was along. Harry wrote Will and Ned Austin by the last boat. General Eliakim Parker Scammon has recommended Henry for a commission in the Regular Army. Harry is sending a Florida newspaper with the announcement of his promotion put there by Scammon without Harry's knowledge. When does William 3. think Bob Robert Seton will come out?

Will is to give one of the pictures to Eddy and the best one to his Father. They have just had a little fight outside their lines. Some 40 of their infantry were out foraging and were attacked by 300 Rebel cavalry. They lost about 30 in killed and captured. They followed the men so closely that the pickets had a chance to fire. Harry went out about 4 miles, saw nothing but picked up some of their own men who had escaped and taken to the swamp. He will send the palmetto work with Captain Wotten or the purser Mr. McManus, until Will calls for them. ` P.S.

After diligent research he reports the following. While the Cardinal, during the first part of September was in a village in Viterbo, near the old Capuchin retreat, he often climbed the nearby mountain. On the 6th of September he came across a spring of clear water and drank from it. Returning to his village he was taken with a fatal disease. He was taken to Viterbo but he died the same night. Paffetti is unattached in Caprarola, his native town, and is down with a heavy cold with a troublesome watering of the eyes but hopes to recover soon. :: II-1-a A.L.S. Italian 4pp. 4to.

The godparents were Patrizio Filicchi and Ester Filicchi, children of Antonio Filicchi, both of Leghorn, requested by Nathaniel and Cornelia Prime, Protestants. ` Signed by the chaplain of the Baptistry, Raffaelli?. :: II-1-a A.D.S. Italian 1p. 4to. CSET II-1-a Seton, Father Robert, Rome, Italy, to William Seton 4., Cragdon, New York 1865 Apr 21 He received William's letter of March 24. He was interested to hear about his trip to Long Island after trout; the rest of his writing was nonsense. Robert was ordained priest in St. John Lateran last Saturday. They were about 30 or more deacons elevated to the priesthood. On Easter Sunday he said his first mass over the body of St. Timothy in the Confession of St. Paul Outside the Walls. Father Bernard Smith assisted him and the novices attended. Later the Lord Abbot sang Pontifical High Mass. Robert always loved the Benedictine monks but had never spent so sweet a day with them before. His second Mass was said in a church of Benedictines at the altar of Pope St. Gregory. The Holy Father Pius IX is well and went through the functions of Holy Week and Easter Sunday as if in his younger days. Every true Union man in Rome has rejoiced to hear of Grant's success. When Robert wrote that he probably would not visit America this summer he did so because of insufficient means. If Wil can get the money out by the end of June, Robert will be with them in July. Won't Aunt Sister Catharine Seton be pleased to have Robert say Mass in the convent chapel? The last time he was in New York Wil was absent and Robert so unsettled as to his future that he did not pass so pleasant a time as he thinks he will later. Cardinal Alexander Barnabo is in good health and inquired after the family. Wil is to tell Isabel Seton that her friend, Madame Baviera of the Trinita has departed this life. This week is the last long holiday until his break up at the end of June either to go to America or to the mountains around Tivoli. His first class commences tomorrow but not at the Roman College. He is taking German lessons; he greatly admires the language. Every now and then Robert falls in with Dr. Grant, the rector of the Scotch College; Robert knows that Grant feels tickled at the fame of his namesake. Father William McCloskey has been ailing; he and Father Francis Silas Chatard have the fever constitution. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 4to. CSET II-1-a Seton, Father Robert, Rome, Italy, to Emily Seton, Cragdon, New York 1865 Jun 25 Robert received her letter of May 20. Emily must make up her mind to hear his Mass at all times in the church. The permission of which she wrote is difficult to obtain. Robert intends to leave Rome next Wednesday and catch a steamer leaving Liverpool the following week. He called on Cardinal Alexander Barnabo; he requested to be remembered to Emily. He has procured beads and medals which will be blessed by the Pope, but he is not in time for the relic of B. Labre. Em8ily is to tell Aunt Sister Catharine Seton and Uncle Samuel Waddington Seton that he received their letters and hopes to answer them in person. She is also to tell William Seton 4. not to mention to anyone anything about the thing Robert wrote him about. Father William McCloskey is going to the United States in a day or so. Robert went to the American College to see if the rector could go along with him but he was out. Financial affairs of the College are very poor and wretched. Robert will go over on the least expensive steamer. He must have money enough to return in November. He could not remain in America after having left the Academia with the express understanding to his superiors, Cardinal Altieri for instance. Leaving Rome without seeing the Holy Father and receiving his parting blessing would be unpardonable. On the Feast of the Sacred Heart, Robert said Mass at the altar of Mater Admirabilis. He saw two of the Ladies who asked after Emily. He is thinking of going tomorrow to the church of Our Lady of the Prosperous Voyage. He hope to be with them by the middle of July. He sends love to his Father, Will and the girls and to Harry by letter. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

CSET II-1-a To William Seton 4., New York, New York Smith, Father Bernard, Rome, Italy Smith thanks William for his favor of July 18; he was delighted to hear from him and all the family. It gave him great pleasure to hear of the safe arrival of Father Robert Seton. Smith received Robert's letter from Paris and gave his message to D. Nicola of the Academy. The President told Smith that Robert got the prize for Archaeology and his paper was considered worthy of publication. The Roman question is far from being settled. The French will leave Rome before the end of 15 months! Pius IX will not be able to hold even what he now has. If he remains a revolution is certain; if he quits Rome, the revolution is complete. England now regrets that she did not unite with France to recognize the South. The English press is hard at work to set America and France fighting. Bishop Patrick Neeson Lynch is still in Rome; his return to America is yet unknown. Smith fears the last to experience the clemency of the President will be those who endeavored to force other nations to mix themselves in the United States' domestic quarrel. ` P.S. Is Madame Surat to be considered an innocent victim? Monsignor Hohenlohe is to be made Cardinal. Robert's friend Madame Frenfanelli is to spend the winter in Rome. They are to have a great number of Mexicans this season. Monsignor Seton in 1890 adds a note on this letter; Smith was a most kind Irish Benedictine resident many years in Rome. The Madame Frenfanelli was a cousin. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

Odin has received his letters about the nomination for Little Rock. His only fear is Father Edward Fitzgerald's health. In all other respects it is perfect. Odin is to pass this on to Bishop Martin his resignation of his see sent months past to Rome. But Father Thomas R.? Butler is thought to be marked for an early grave; he has heart disease. Father Collier and Father David Whalen and their old housekeeper, Mrs. Ann Marr from Washington and Mt. St. Mary's are all gone. The Sisters there are all well.

CSET II-1-a Seton, Father Robert, Rome, Italy, to Sister Catherine Seton, New York, New York 1866 Feb. 2 He was glad to hear in a letter from William Seton 4 that she was well. He will feel the severe climate when he returns. He thinks frequently of that happy day when he will land in New York to put himself to work in the sacred ministry. His studies take up his time in Rome. He looks back with remorse to the time he lost busying himself about his dear native country and open to everyone in Rome instead of trusting in God. Sister is to let him know of anything she may have heard as to how their cousin Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley took Robert's determination to remain a few years longer in Rome. He is afraid that Bayley will be highly incensed at him and that the other priests ordained about the same time will have a long start ahead of him. His studies are civil and canon law, archaeology, and German. Sister, who has lived there, can make the contrast between the weather in Rome and in New York. Pius IX is well and rejoices his subjects by showing himself on foot in public with a steady gait and a cheerful paternal expression. William's letters are always interesting; Robert cannot conceive how his father and Emily Seton can stand the cold weather at Cragdon without hurt. Robert thinks there is some very odious selfishness somewhere in not letting William do what he was so ready to perform and what common sense, comfort, and the claims of a little society, so strongly urged. He thinks that except inasmuch as the girls therein became Catholic, their education in European convents has not had the best effect upon them. Their father, William Seton 3 has never known how to manage matters and they won't listen to the only one who has the sense and sufficient self abnegation to assist them. Robert expects to see four old maids before he dies. He also feels for his brother who could make his fortune were he not obliged to take care of five persons beside himself. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

He hastens to send the letter William desires. William is to tell his brother Harry Seton that no one can more sincerely wish him success than Scammon does. They have been greatly afflicted since Scammon's return to his family. Two weeks ago they buried their daughter Caroline, 18, and a younger daughter died while he was a prisoner of war. Now a third is lying very ill and he fears of the same disease that proved fatal to her sister— typhoid fever. He knows Harry will feel interested in what gives Scammon so much grief. P.S. Scammon opens his letter to say that one of his daughters, Mrs. Walter Lockwood, married last September, resides at 466 W. 22nd Street, New York. If William's sisters should have the opportunity of calling on her it would give Scammon pleasure as he knows that her Catholic acquaintance there is very limited. He does not doubt they would find each other mutually agreeable. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

CSET II-1-a Bayley, James Roosevelt, Bishop of, Newark, New Jersey, to Father Robert Seton, Rome, Italy 1866 Feb. 25 He had written Seton an answer to his letter of last December which got mixed up in his papers and was not sent. They were all very glad to hear of Seton's safe arrival in the Eternal City though not with his determination to go through the whole course of Canon Law. They know very little about the real state of things in this country, of the peculiar character of the Catholic population or the strictly missionary character of the Church. Except in the larger cities all the Catholic population is made up of poor labouring people who bring into play the simplest principles of theology. They have no Cathedral chapters, no benefices, no ecclesiastical courts, no parish priests. What they want now are active, intelligent, pious priests to take care of the immigrants. New York has not over one priest for 6,000 people, and in consequence half of them will be lost to the Church. Bayley trusts that Seton will get the Rector and His Eminence to reconsider the matter and let Seton come to help Bayley at the end of the year. If Seton comes Bayley can take him as his secretary. Bayley has heard nothing of William Seton 4. or any of the family lately. William usually calls when he comes to look after his tenants in "Seton Court." The "Marble Building" at Seton Hall College was destroyed by fire, a loss of $30,000 but they are already rebuilding. It will take the means which Bayley intended for other good works. The bulls for Bishop John Joseph Williams as co-adjutor of Boston came just in time as Bishop John B. Fitzpatrick died one week afterwards. The Jesuits are giving a mission in the Cathedral Church. Father George H. Doane is well and hard at work. He asks to be remembered to Father Bernard Smith . Bayley recently met a Protestant gentleman, Mr. Bradley, who expressed much gratitude for Smith's kind treatment when in Rome. Bayley encloses a draft for 21 pounds. 20 pounds is for Cardinal Altieri towards Cardinal Gaetano Bedini 's monument and 1 for the Breviary Seton bought for Bayley. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

The day Robert left, October 7, their father William Seton 3 and she planted a Boston creeper and some periwinkles and will watch them with care until Robert returns. Will has gone to Washington to see what he can do towards getting Harry Seton in the Regular Army; they all hope for his success. Harry is now in Charleston. He was sent to a plantation to quell a disturbance of freedmen but on returning alone, the negroes burst upon him and one man threw an axe. He had the ringleaders arrested. Father William McCloskey spent a day with them. Robert's last of February 5 spoke of visiting some Catacombs with the Chevalier John B ptist Rossi . Elizabeth is writing in Robert's room. Behind her are piled up box upon box of old letters. She keeps the very old letters as a bonne-bouche and so far has put some order in those of this generation. She has appropriated the little gold relic of the Blessed Virgin which Robert left at Cragdon, but will render it up when he is there again. She regrets she did not find one of his sermons; she has the first as Nell Helen Seton and Isabel Seton laid claim to the other two. Their little church has been greatly enlarged and they have an assistant pastor. Little Johnny Brett often speaks of Robert. Many of the congregation ask after Robert particularly a Mrs. Johnson, wife of some dissenting minister; in her innocence she thinks Robert would be placed in charge of the Mount Vernon, New York parish. Robert would smile to see Brian Ennis, the pedlar, walk up the aisle in Robert's coat. On Ash Wednesday, Will, Nell, and Elizabeth attended the funeral of Mrs. Secord . She died at Norman's place. She would go as far as Mrs. Kane's cottage to ask news of the family. They called on Miss Phoebe Reid ; with the exception of Miss Rutherford her visitors are few.

It is 7 A.M. and nobody else up except the servants. The sail boat is anchored off Tice's island where William rows the girls to take a swim. All swim but Nellie Helen Seton . Harry Seton writes frequently and must be having a jolly time. William warned him that he will not have such fun when stationed out on the plains among the bison and grizzlies. Charlie Miller started yesterday to pay him a visit. William is going to catch the 8.6 train as he wants to remit some money to Bob. Gold is not quite down to 130, but will not fall much lower than it is for months. This leaves Robert's August rent from the New York stores and Carroll, $181, still due. The Newark property pays well. William went there a few days ago for their rent; he did not see Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley but hopes to this afternoon as he is going there again to look after a house for the winter instead of staying at Cragdon. Their father William Seton 3 will be warmer and themselves much happier. It is only 40¢ to New York and back. On the same paper: CSET II-1-a Seton, Elizabeth Elise, Cragdon, New York, to Father Robert Seton, Rome, Italy 1866 Aug. 10. Will has asked Elise to finish a letter to Robert. She would have liked better to write more formally and answer Robert's letter she received in May. Their church is much larger and they have a choir of which Nell and Elise form a part. Emily Seton and she are making artificial flowers for the altar. The villagers ask about Robert particularly Johnny Brett. Their father is well and busying himself about the boat for which Elise is making a jigger sail. Johnny Thompson is well and happy having a little sister. Peter is building a summer house on the view rock; they have such a glorious view of the sound. Harry also made some paths in the nursery woods. Uncle Samuel Waddington Seton has not been up this summer. P.S. Added by William on August 11: He did not see the Bishop nor Father Doane. P.P.S.

He remitted to Mr. Grim a duplicate of his letter of May last with a request to remit the sum paid by the Murray's estate. The taxes and Loan give the greatest value to any sum in order "to supply to the exigiencies". He asks William to have Grim remit the sum minus the expenses he has incurred on the Filicchi account. He asks for more dividends. He thanks William for news of his family, partner, Aunt Kate and father. He is himself now 66 years old, but in splendid health, except for lack of sleep. He walks much. The rest of the family are well: Ubaldo at Gubbio and George at Turin, who expects to visit home Christmas as a cavalry lieutenant. He will be 18 and two months. The Filicchis consider the Setons part of the family. Robert is in Rome. Italians must not suffer foreign rule of intrusion. There is want of Italian leaders in the cabinet, army and navy. The obsequiousness to France is revolting. Though the Austrians be hated, the French alliance is disgraceful The present gigantic but ill guided efforts will end in a shameful peace. Italian leaders are too self-centered. Not the leaders, but chance and the popular efforts has won the measure of success. Robert was prevented from coming to Pisa by the fear of war. He intends to visit Robert next winter. He, Mrs. Filicchi, and daughter, wish the Setons well. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

Nicola. Ruffo Scilla has been in Genoa for about a month; Agapito Panici, after taking his degree with the greatest honor has gone to San Lorenzo. Malogala has taken another degree and can easily be seen at Tivoli together with Count Passerini, the Baron, the Marquis, Gregorio Gillow y Zavalza and Caracciolo. Caracciolo is sending 15 scudi. They have heard that Andrea is very bad and is in St. James Hospital. Sanminiatelli sends greetings and is waiting for a letter from Seton. Passerini has said the Masses for that priest whom Seton knows. Sanminiatelli took a degree with highest honors last Thursday.

When this reaches Robert he will already be at his studies after those sweet rambles at Tivoli. They all laughed heartily at his indignation at finding the "Caxtons" in such good company. She has been reading travels. She agrees with him about female novelists with some few exceptions. They have lately had a pleasant acquisition to their circle of friends in Guy Henry and his wife, stationed at Fort Schuyler. He is a cousin of theirs in a remote degree, being descended from Peggy, Margaret Seton , wife of the forever-in-debt Andrew Seton of whom they see so frequent mention in the old letters. Their father William Seton 3 and Elise sailed to the fort today and were heartily welcomed. Does Robert remember the day he and Elise and Harriet Ogden dined with the officers? Mount Vernon, New York has been enlivened by a concert given for their church by a party of amateurs, she and Nell HelenSeton included. Father J. Kinsella has made probably $500 by it. Harry Seton has paid them a couple of short visits and is still at Fort Niagara though he expects soon to remove to Buffalo. He likes his profession very much. Emilie Seton 's garden has kept the parlours filled with flowers, also providing for the church. Lilian Griffin is engaged to be married to a Mr. Guliger, a Protestant and no money. Little Charlie was there today. Tomorrow Elise and Nell go to town to hear Jefferson in Rip Van Winkle and Ristori in Elizabeth. Agnes Poole and her brother William Poole leave for the South on Saturday; she speaks as if he had thought of joining the Paulist Fathers. Will and Mr. Booth went to the races at Fordham. Their father sailed to the fort again and spent the day there October 6.. He was unable to return in the "Ivy", the boom and bowsprit having given way. Guy sent him home in an ambulance.

She has his last letter from Tivoli. She treasures hers apart from those to William Seton 4 ; they have a savour of olden times and the beach at Dieppe where they often reclined together. They were most pleased that Robert only has dyspepsia and not that dreadful affair of the heart. Their father William Seton 3. instantly suggested to will that he should procure a horse for Robert's peregrinations around Newark. Will is making up his mind to live there too. He loves Robert dearly and Robert understands him better; he is very queer at times. He writes a great deal and spends most of his evenings at the library. Their father keeps well, sitting occasionally with Aunt Kate Sister Catharine Seton and laughing with Uncle Samuel Waddington Seton who came to wish them a merry Christmas. Yesterday they heard from Hal Harry Seton who was enjoying the skating in Buffalo and sighing for promotion. General Hardie takes an interest in him and Guy Henry has promised to write to a friend on Grant's staff. Emily Seton reads and studies; Nelly Helen Seton keeps steadily at her piano and doing, with Isabel Seton, the visiting of the family. The snow quite annihilates the prospect of a drive to the Park which Nina Prime had proposed for Elizabeth and their father. Peter Jay has gone to Philadelphia to study for the ministry. Aunt Jay is probably already contemplating matching him against Robert in an amicable discussion. Aunt Jay is spending the winter in Nice with Laura. Elizabeth and their father went to see Aunt Ray and found the old couple at home. Their thoughts are perhaps on the two grown sons who were slowly driven off from the church over the way. Uncle Edward has bought a place not far from the Vancortlands; Mary was always fond of the country. Harriet Prime is engaged to be married to a Dr. Gibbons . They run up to Cragdon every now and then on a fine day.

He did not intend to say anything that would hurt Seton's feelings or imply distrust in his remarks in regard to Seton's monsignorship; he was only afraid that Seton might be induced to remain abroad instead of coming home to help them in this new country. It would be a sin for a priest as well fitted as Seton to do good at home to remain abroad in a career already overcrowded. Bayley's eyes have lately failed very much and his physician had ordered him to stop work for a while and go abroad. Bayley will probably leave on the 20th and endeavor to make a short trip to the Holy Land before going to Rome. If Seton wishes to join him he is to be in Marseilles on April 8. William Seton 4 was there today; he says all at home are well. Bayley will be in Rome June 20. P.S. Seton is to tell Father William McCloskey to keep a corner for him in the American College if possible. If not, Seton must find him lodgings somewhere. If Bayley's old hat is about anywhere in the American College to find out the size, Seton is to have a new one made for him. Monsignor Seton in 1890 adds the note: Father William is Dr. McCloskey, then rector of the American College, now Archbishop of Louisville, Kentucky. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

They left the latter place with much joy and no regrets. On the march one man was frozen to death because he took more liquor than he could well carry. Harry will attend to Guy Henry 's circular tomorrow. When they came into the Post on one side, the Indian Commission came in on the other; General Christopher C. Augur, William S. Harney and a lot of others. Unfortunately, the Indians do not seem inclined to come down from the upper country, there being at present only about a dozen lodges at the Post. Harry would like Bob to send his ring out. He can never get into a less dangerous place than Laramie as long as they remain on the Plains.

Bob is to give Harry's love to Edith when he sees her and will write home as soon as he is rested. 85 miles on foot in this weather is no fun.

He likes Belleville very much. He hopes soon to have enough to do in parochial work to occupy both mind and body constantly and pleasantly. He has called on 2 or 3 families and finds himself heartily welcomed. He is glad that Seton is so well pleased with St. Elizabeth's; he trusts his health is improving. De Burgh thinks Belleville very healthy; though colder the winter is drier than in England. De Burgh is occupied in estimating the value of furniture and books and trying to understand the accounts of the mission for the last two years. He hopes Seton enjoyed his dinner with Father James D'Arcy at Morristown. De Burgh heard Father George H. Doane say he intended to lecture there. Intemperance seems to be the great sin of Catholics in the United States. De Burgh does not intend making any changes there until after he is better known. His school is in a wretched condition, the master is an ignoramus and without order, 14 years in possession and a trustee!

Her daughter has persuaded her that her sentiments would add weight to the reasons she has given Seton to try to change his intolerable position. The first thing to do is, at the beginning of winter, to be dispensed from night calls and mass before dawn. If those measures prove satisfactory she sees only one remedy, that is, to take advantage of the boredom for his sanctification and gain merit. She and her children have only one conviction, the one her daughter talked to Seton about. :: II-1-a A.L.S. French 2pp. 16mo.

Of course they will get all the rations they want to subsist them during the winter and in spring they will be all ready to commence operations again. Harry bought a bow, quiver, and 12 arrows from one of the chiefs for $5 worth of coffee and sugar. He sent Robert moss agate as a specimen. William Seton 4. writes that Robert is getting up a history of the family. He is happy to see by the paper that Garibaldi has caught a Tartar and hopes it may teach him a lesson. Robert is to tell how he likes his present place; it must be a great change from aristocratic Rome. Monsignor Seton adds in 1890: "Yes indeed it was." Harry hopes to come on this winter; he supposes Robert goes up to Seton Hall occasionally; he is to tell Joe Monroe that he will answer his letter soon. Now that the family is in town Robert must see a great deal of them. Harry is awaiting his ring. Robert must persuade Wil to get married. Harry has made up his mind to remain in the Army and live as a bachelor. He trusts the girls will some day get husbands. Harry sends his respects to the Bishop. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 1p. 4to.

Harry was sorry to learn that Robert is not well but hopes the change of air may be of benefit to him. He was afraid that Robert's duties at Newark would be too much for his health. A Catholic congregation in America is very different from what he has been accustomed to in Europe. He expects the ring by the next mail. Laramie is 90 miles north and west of Cheyenne the present terminus of the U.P.R.N. in Dakota Territory. Robert is to ask Ethlinda again if she has not received a stone he sent her. He wrote Elise Elizabeth Seton last week and told her he might come on in two or three weeks but his Captain had his leave extended to April and Harry is the only officer with his company. In the Spring they are to have an Indian Expedition and all the officers will be needed. Harry was sorry to hear of Ned Austin 's death; Harry was with him at Mt. St. Mary's. Who has Tom Slevin taken for better or for worse? Harry heard Tom's sister was married. Robert is to give Harry's love to their father and the children and remember him to Bishop Bayley. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.

His grandmother was Eliza Seton, daughter of William Seton . He does not know whether she was by his first or second wife. According to the records of old Trinity Church, New York, she was born in 1779 and was married to James Maitland September 16, 1797 by the Reverend Benjamin Moore . She died on March 19, 1807 leaving five little children to the care of her sisters. Her sister, Mrs. Mary Hoffman, took Burgwyn's father, Benjamin Maitland, to live with her. Burgwyn will be glad to get a copy of the "Curio" with an account of the Seton family if Seton will tell him in what number it is. Mrs. Maitland and their daughter have just returned from Europe and send regards. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo. CSET II-1-a Barberey, Maurice de, Matignon, France, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Madison, New Jersey 1867 Dec. 27 Seton's letters attest to the memories he holds of his all too short visit at Matignon. He does not want to always leave the expression of his thanks to Madame de Barberey. They have followed with much interest his first steps since his return to America. As he wrote, Robert was not satisfied with the post which Mgr. Bealey Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley had assigned him at first and were glad to hear of the happy change. Barberey will return to Paris in a week; there is the life, the movement, the action. Especially at this moment where great questions hold the world in suspense: the sovereignty of the Holy see, the existence of the Italian kingdom, peace or war, the increase of the army, freedom of the press, right of assembly. What events have taken place since Seton left! Four million frances, $800,000 in subscriptions taken in 2 months, burning letters from their bishops, public sentiment, which constrained their government to send troops to Rome. It may be that the first agitation will come from guilty Italy and that war may break out either in the East or in Germany. He sees a dark future. Seton's country is paying the bloody tribute a nation pays to war; he is too for away no doubt to become involved in their complicated quarrels. Madame Helen Bailly de Barberey continues to work on the writing of the "holy life" which attracts her more and more. Since Seton left she has formed a very strong friendship with Patrisio Filicchi who writes very kind letters. He has agreed to copy all of a series of letters from Seton's grandmother Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton . The precious envoy stopped enroute at Matignon instead of going to embark at Southampton. They read President Andrew Johnson's message; parts of it interested them even though they are not Know-No-things. But are they really going to allow the supremacy of the negro over the white to continue in the Southern states? If Barberey was from the South he would flee to 60 degrees north. Instead of giving political rights prematurely to the former slaves they should bring from Italy several hundred unemployed gentlemen to teach catechism to these poor people; that would be a double Christian charity. At least the Italian revolution would serve some purpose. Cannot Seton come back to Matignon; he will always find devoted and friendly hearts there. :: II-1-a A.L.S. French 6pp. 12mo.

His ring came to hand on Christmas Eve. It is a beauty. In the army one day is pretty much like another even Sunday. The usual proportion of damaged noses and eyes incident on some 300 scldiers getting drunk were to be seen the next day. He agrees with Robert that as regards the family they are creme de la creme. He was glad to see that Garibaldi got a dose at Monte Rotondo; it serves him right. Elise wrote that she had sent some London News. Harry wants very much to get East. Next March will be one year on the Plains for him. Robert must persuade William Seton 4 that it is his duty to marry. Harry will remain in the Army and live a bachelor hoping that will and the girls will marry and always have a chair near the fire for him. He is glad that Robert has found a place more congenial to his disposition than his former one. Robert is to tell Ethlinda that she owes Harry a letter. Harry sent will the power of attorney some days ago. If Harry comes East he will try to remain at least three months. He wonders if will received his letter asking him to write to Hardie and Senator Morgan about his leave. There are but few Indians at the Post but there is a village of 50 lodges only 8 miles out.

Seton remembers him well though he was but a child of five or six years. He was very intimate at their house. Talleyrand dressed in black and wore breeches and black silk stockings; one of his feet was a clubbed foot and he limped a little. Sometimes processions came past of French citizens singing the Marseillaise. That is all Seton remembers of the Bishop of Autun. The time is so short before Robert will be there he hardly need write much of a letter. Robert will of course be at 28 Union Square before he goes to New Jersey or the White Mountains where Robert's father and the girls go this week. Harry Seton is there for a few days; he has had rough times out on the plains. Lizzy Elizabeth Seton is an amateur photographer; her view of Cragdon and groups of figures are excellent.

When the Sisters go to Sing Sing Duranquet recommends Thomas Latham who was craving for a prayer book and Leo Hudson. These two months past Duranquet has resided altogether on his island.

He arrived at Laramie on December 27. He spent Christmas at Fort David Russell. On January 2 they started for this post, four officers and a driver of the ambulance. They bivouaced on Horseshoe creek; they had to decrease their fire at night for fear of hostile Indians. They hardly expect to get through the winter without an occasional brush with them. Elise wrote that Robert wanted to send some money to buy a robe for Father Bernard Smith . Harry can get a finer robe than the one Robert has which he may send to Smith. They now send an army wagon and 14 men to escort the mail on account of so many Indians around them. He sends love to the girls and to Charly Lee and Berrian .

He writes often by the letters which the balloons bring them; the latest was written November 6. For several weeks, they have been expecting the enemy; it would take only 2 days' march to be upon them. She would have liked to remain in Paris with her husband; he said she could be a handicap or perhaps a danger to him. She returned to Mots'quon alone and has spent the days since in this solitude, busying herself in writing two articles about the lamentable events in Rome last October. Her heart bleeds at the thought of the Holy Father and all the holy souls who are persecuted by those miserable Italians. What Garibaldi has done is infamous. She hopes Seton will write to her as she has need of consolation and support. Has Seton's brother Henry a child yet? Does Seton know about Madame Schell' s return to New York? She left with a thousand recommendations from the Ladies of the Sacred Heart and with hopes of doing good in the United States; she has good will and Barberey hopes she will succeed. Has Seton seen anything of Barberey's cousin, Countess de Chambrun? She is in Washington. Has Seton been to Emmittsburg this summer? Barberey's thoughts often go there. When she feels disheartened she often asks Seton's saintly grandmother to help her. Barberey's mother often speaks of Seton and sends regards. Seton has written on the back of the letter: This letter is from Madame de Barberey, a granddaughter of Count Roederer. It is curious from the point of philately as being probably one of the very latest occasions on which the postage stamps of the 2nd Empire were used.

He is with Seton in the opinion that the third order of prothonotaries is often confounded with the second. Falise speaks only of the third class. In the Analecta Juris Pontificii Chalon finds remarks differing from what Seton states in his letter in regard to dressing at the altar and wearing the ring at Low Mass. Chalon dresses in the vestry and yet wears the ring at Low Mass, having consulted with prothonotaries ad instar in Rome. Chalon's archbishop was away from Rome when Chalon received his brief. On returning from France he told Chalon that he would see that he enjoyed all his privileges. He died soon after. Chalon will wait for the return of the bishop's successor to act as he will judge best. French and German prothonotaries have given trouble to their Bishops which will probably be the cause why some other privileges will be curtailed. Gallican Bishops consider themselves little Popes but they ought never give reason for complaint. Hence Chalon abstains from anything which might be disagreeable to his Archbishop. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.

He did not mean to blame Will, certainly not on account of scoundrel Knox. If Harry had the money from the sale of Dick and carriage he would not have been in such a fix. The baby clothes came yesterday and the express, $2.35, took all but 10¢ of his money. If the Spring Street store is worth $200,000 why not sell it and keep Cragdon. He thinks Robert underestimates the value of Cragdon. 150 acres would be $150,000. Spring Street would give them each $500 more than it will with Knox as tenant. What will become of their 21 year lease if the hatter dies? Harry had a letter from Elise Elizabeth Seton dated Munich. Harry expects the little "stranger" on about June 10. He wants a boy. Robert is to see if Harry cannot get his money by June 5; he sent the document to Jevons three days ago. The heat there is hard on Annie Foster Seton . He cannot say much for the regular Army; men desert 5 and 6 a day. The officers only care about drawing their pay. He must drive Nina Prime ? to early Mass in the morning and immediately after go on guard.

He must have $150 more as the death of Annie's mother Mrs. John Gray Foster puts him to an unexpected expense in the way of mourning clothes. Harry is going to write to Will and the girls to announce the advent of the young Seton.

William's handwriting, so like that of William Seton 3 , his father, has had a singular effect. Those sentiments must have been inculcated in William in his youth by Filicchi's beloved friend and his sister, William's Aunt Kate Mother Catharine Seton both of whom, with William's uncle Richard B. Seton are considered by Filicchi as brothers and sister. In William's stay in Leghorn with his parents, he was quite a little boy and Emily Seton a lovely little thing. Filicchi is glad that Elizabeth Seton has such a talent for sculpture. William is to shake her hand for him and also with Helen Seton ; they will find two sisters in his daughters Amabilia Filicchi and Laura Filicchi . His oldest son, Ubaldo Filicchi is still in the ex-Roman estates. He has been a syndic for 5 years but has given up that troublesome charge. George Filicchi , the young cavalry officer, is at present with them from Naples having got the ague for the third time in 5 years. Filicchi's four sisters are well though rather old. Mrs. Berghini is in Leghorn with her large family; Mrs. Giovannini lives in Florence. They, Giannia and Caterina, were friends of William's father. Mary, Mrs. Benucci and Julia, Mrs. Mancini, were pupils of William's father and uncle in English. Filicchi remembers Harry Seton as quite a baby. When Filicchi was in England he knew old Sir Henry? Roscoe . Filicchi recalls a most agreeable evening spent in Liverpool with him and Mrs. Panizzi, friend of Lord Brougham, one of the most distinguished Italian patriots. William's ideas of Italian politics appear to be quite just. Italy, one and united, might be great and happy but her immorality and irreligion are beyond any limit. The French revolution purified the clergy there, it is to be hoped that the Italian revolution will have the same effect here. William is to come and see for himself. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo. 19 CSET II-1-a Shea, John Gilmary, Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Madison, New Jersey 1876 May 14 Shea's collection of books is not what it was.

He has an imperfect copy of Thayer's controversy with Leslie; he lent his perfect copy to Dr. Monahan and never recovered it. Spaulding!'s Sketches of Kentucky was borrowed, never returned. What he has is at Seton's service. He has a series of letters from the Ryan family of Limerick bearing on the later days of Father John Thayer? and the foundation of the Charlestown convent.

The place, as Seton says, is far from clean; a good housekeeper will be invaluable. The sanctuary and sacristy could be kept in order by the Sisters. Corrigan used to find the Altar Society very useful in Springfield. Father W.P. Salt being absent in Philadelphia Corrigan sends a check for the amount specified. Corrigan has urged Father Michael J. Holland to do all he possibly can to make himself useful. As to the division of labor the rule is that the assistant must be under the direction and control of the pastor. If Seton knew Father Joseph Esser more intimately Corrigan thinks he would prefer Holland. Esser has no more judgement than a school boy; he is good and willing but he does not know English sufficiently well. Father L.D. Senez, who is very shrewd in such matters, was very anxious to secure Holland for Hoboken.

It is sufficient that the pastor select the trustees and the Bishop or Vicar General concur. Corrigan is of the opinion that this annual election of officers is unnecessary as those in office must hold over until their successors are appointed. Mr. Charles O'Connor 's opinion is that no person holding an office of trust can legally cease to hold that office until a successor be appointed. The Bishop, once elected President, remains President without re-election. The information concerning the Postal Card came to Corrigan from quite a different source than those Seton mentions.

The assistants are placed "Sub regimine Pastoris" and cannot reasonably complain of being required to do what their own zeal ought to urge. Corrigan also approves the Rules Seton has prepared.

The best way to show his appreciation would be here in Charleston. They have a Charleston Library some 170 years old, with old time English books and where old fogies like Lynch sometimes meet. Today, in hunting information on Glasgow, Lynch examined "The Antiquities of Scotland" by Grose. In the appendix he found an account of Lynch's ancestrall Hall. Perhaps Seton has read Grose or the "Journey Through Scotland" which Grose quotes; anyhow Lynch takes a chance and copies it out and sends it to Seton.

CSET II-1-a Shea, John Gilmary, Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City, New Jersey 1879 Oct. 12 In the sense of being the first Bible printed in the English language, Shea thinks that Coverdale's of 1535 has undisputed claim. As for their New Jersey arms, Shea's impression is that they were the arms of Sir George Carteret but he will make sure. Archbishop John Carroll used a seal with Our Lady holding the Infant and a sceptre surrounded by thirteen stars. On his portrait engraved by Tanner in 1812 this same seal occupies half the shield. The present seal and motto originated from Carroll's seal. Shea always considered that Bishop James Roosevelt Bayley made a mistake when he adopted the new seal for Archbishop John Hughes. Bishop John Dubois used a shield with a shamrock; it symbolized the patron of the New York Cathedral. Hughes took the arms of the Archbishop of York; they are out of place in New York. Shea will try to find out about Carroll's portrait. Seton's brother led Shea to believe he would fix a day when Shea might see them both. Seton adds on the letter: See my note, made at Annapolis, in pocketbook. :: II-1-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo. CSET II-1-b Williams, Mary Anne, Queenscliffe, Australia, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City, New Jersey 1880 Feb. 21 She was glad to receive Seton's letter, as she had begun to fear that he was ill or had left Jersey City. She thanks him for the photos of his father. She also received an engraving of Seton's grandmother Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton from Father Hogan . Her sister-in-law, Mrs. George Synnot has been collecting family portraits and has not only Seton's mother's picture but also a number of Seton's and his brother Henry's. She has sent a set to Seton Synnot, Ballymoyer, who is Williams' first cousin. Her sister Mrs. Jane Manifold, had written to the Synnots and told them that Williams had discovered that they had many relatives in America; her cousin, Julia Synnot wrote Jane asking for Seton's address. A neighbor, Mrs. Bertram Seton whose mother was a daughter of Lord Sidmouth wished to know the maiden name of Old Mrs. Seton, mother of Jane Seton who married Williams' grandfather. In his letter Seton mentions that her maiden name was the same as her husband's. Williams encloses in this letter a picture of her father, his brother and sister, Jane Seton's children. Her father, Walter Synnot, is the centre of the group; his brother Marcus Synnot and his only full sister Maria Synnot who died at 18; she was engaged to Colonel Legard no enclosure. Seton sent Williams an extract from Lady Isabella Seton? Cayley 's letter in which she mentions Maria's illness and the family being afraid to tell Lady Synnot about her brother, William Seton' s death. The original oil painting is at Ballymoyer where all the old family pictures are. Williams' brother Robert had an old engraving and picked another up in a London print shop; she gave it to her brother George. She will try to copy Old Mrs. Seton's likeness for Seton. She has in her possession photographic copies of four generations of Synnots namely Richard Synnot, father of Sir Walter, then Sir Walter Synnot and her father. Referring to the book written by Selina Martin, sister of Sir Walter's second wife, named "Three Years in Italy", Williams sees that her grandfather died in Rome August 9, 1821 and was put in the same tomb as his daughter Anne Elizabeth Synnot who died January 5, 1821. When in Geelong Williams read the life of Mother Seton in "Lives of Pious Women." She will send Seton's message to Father Sheehy in a few days. Father Hogan who was at the same place in Tasmania as they were for some 24 years, writes that he entertained Governor Weld at the Presbytery. Williams' eldest son was home for a visit in October. In Sydney he stayed with Williams' stepmother Mrs. Charles McArthur and went to parties with Agnes, her step sister. Mrs. McArthur and Mrs. George Synnot are sisters, two Miss Mathers. The Welds are a very old Catholic family. Seton Williams is quite well and will be through his Articles as a Solicitor in April. She wishes Seton could take a trip to Victoria and visit them. Mr. Williams joins in kindest Wishes. P.S. The chapter in "Good Words" about the Seton family says they were celebrated for their strength and beauty. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 16pp. 12mo. 23 CSET II-1-b Corrigan, Bishop Michael Augustine, Newark, New Jersey, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City, New Jersey 1880 Aug. 2 In reply to Seton's note of July 8 Corrigan regrets he does not have leisure to go over all the Orange accounts to give due credit for the various sums received from Seton's parish, but he will do so at the first opportunity. The enclosed documents no enclosure, the first prepared and presented May 4, 1874, will give some idea of what was contributed. At that meeting, it was expected that the life insurances at maturity would more than pay the remaining debt of Orange church and Monsignor George H. Doane proposed that then 50% would be refunded to the churches. In reality, some of the policies have already become worthless. On January 1, 1880, the debt of Orange was $104,080.27. The improvements are only the sugar coating on the bitter pill of liabilities. The people need something to encourage them to be continuously liberal. Corrigan would not ask that one penny be refunded unless there were a surplus in St. John's treasury. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

They are still at Queenscliffe but will be leaving at the end of next month. She is sending a sketch she made of Old Mrs. Seton from the original done by her daughter, Lady Jane Synnot . It is a copy of a sketch nearly 100 years old. Her son Seton passed as a solicitor. Seton is to address their letters to his care; they will probably go to see her son Walter Williams in New South Wales. As he is managing a station he could not leave to come to them. In his letter Father Hogan mentioned that the Vicar General, Father Dunne, is going home. Dunne sometimes came to see them and a very friendly feeling exists between them and Hogan. Williams thanks Seton for the likeness of his grandfather. She was both delighted and edified in reading the life of Elizabeth Seton. She will take it to Melbourne for her sister Jane Manifold and her son to read. Mr. Williams went to Melbourne the week before last to meet the new Bishop of Newcastle. Williams would like to hear about Seton's godson. Her sister-in-law, Mrs. George Synnot, is still confined to her bed. Jane Manifold has just got back from Sydney where she visited her daughter, Alice Panter . Her other daughter and family, the Andersons, are at Waiora waiting until they move into a new house. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 7pp. 12mo.

They have been guests of the Vicar of St. Ulrich for nearly three weeks. The building they are in was formerly a Benedictine monastery and still contains a valuable library. Their rooms are the cells of the monks, separated by a wide hall, which is their common place of meeting in the evenings. They are quite a party of American Catholics. William has probably told Robert of her intnetion to place Jack John Foster Seton at school this autumn. She has secured him entrance at an institution where he will be better cared for than at home and Elizabeth will have more time for teaching. The boy requires a strong man's hand. Since she left she heard that Miss Harper called at her lodgings; could this be Aunt Kate's old friend?

They sailed on Saturday the 2nd and were in Paris at 5 P.M. Sunday the 10th. They have visited Sacré Coeur and saw Madame Beuffroy whom he had not seen in 34 years; she spoke of Robert. He has also called on ère Chocargne, a learned Dominican, whom William met in New York 21 years ago. They often meet Mrs. Navarro and Tony, who is very Spanish in looks and tastes. The Navarros are staying with Dr. and Mrs. Shephard . William has not called on Madame de Barberey. Robert is to tell about the Baltimore celebration. Did he meet there Egan, Brownson, Ford, Shea? They may go South in a week. He has made the acquaintance of Père Leroy, a Dominican, and the author of a work on evolution. Robert is to call on Mrs. Parrish and Mrs. Lee.

It has been his experience to find himself saying and reporting the President James A. Garfield as saying in the papers many things which are in correct. From his conversations with the President, Rockwell knows that Garfield is profoundly grateful to the whole Christian world for their expressions of sympathy and the invocations offered for his recovery. On the back of the letter Seton writes that he had prayers said publicly in his church for the recovery of President Garfield. He wrote this to his secretary to criticize some alleged report about Catholics taking little or no notice of the atrocious act of Guiteau. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 16mo.

The Madame and Mrs. Montgomery refer to one and the same individual. Mrs. Montgomery, née Harvey was the wife of Montgomery's grand uncle, William Montgomery, who became a Roman Catholic and lies buried in St. Augustine's burying ground. Her mother was of Swedish descent and mention is made of her by Gregory Bedell Keen, formerly in American orders, in his "Descendants of Joran Kyn." In the current issue of the "Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography", Seton will find the Reverend Samuel Cooper mentioned along with the date of his death in Bordeaux. Montgomery believes Keen has further details of his connection. He would like to have a copy of Seton's abridged edition of his grandmother's Life and Letters. He is familiar with the Charles B.J.F.de St . émin prints; his collection is more noted for its omissions than its admissions. Montgomery is obliged to Seton for the old bookplate of his great grandfather which he especially values on account of the established connection with their family. He will look for "Les Ecossais en France" in their libraries here. He has a "working copy" of his History for another possible edition which his descendants may issue. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

He is going to make an extract of references to families he knows in Liverpool. He will talk with Barker when he has a chance. He is much obliged to Seton for sending him a complimentary copy of his volume of Essays. He received a letter from Henry Seton ; Annie Foster Seton is still ill but Henry expects her to be better in a few days. William Seton has not yet returned from the South, though he was in New York on Saturday. Jevons agrees with will that Seton is the proper custodian of the papers.

Hoffman would be obliged if Seton would advise him of the connection of his grandmother with Mother Seton. On the back of this letter in Seton's handwriting is the answer: Mary Frances Seton was the daughter of William Seton and his second wife, Anna-Maria Curzon .

His mother died the same year as Robert's father William Seton 3 at the age of 81. They fancy they can detect in the photograph Robert sent, a likeness to his "filius unicus" now a merchant in London! His wife and family are still all spared to him. Mrs. Seton has not been very robust for many years and is to have an operation for cataract next spring. His eldest daughter, Lizzie Lindsay Seton is happily married to William Livingston Watson . Her health has been in a very precarious state for two or three years and doctors give little hope of recovery. George's other two daughters are still under the parental roof. George next replies to the various points mentioned in Robert's letter. Each is treated at length: his "Memoir of Chancellor Seton" - Alexander Seton ; the Setons of Milan ; Setons in England ; Setons of Parbroath. Any further notes on the Setons would be very acceptable and also a list of the works published by Robert's brother and other members of his family. It is strange that Burke has not embraced the Setons in his "Vicissitudes." George sends "Old Scottish Families" published in 1874 by Dr. William Chambers. Dr. Laing is missed in literary circles. William Fraser is still flourishing but has never produced the "Memorials of the Setons." George has been urged to undertake an exhaustive history of their house but he would have to be assured of financial aid to the extent of 1500 to 2000 pounds.

Her opinion will be that Robert is well informed but outspoken. Robert encloses a slip from the London Tablet; the notice of Wil's book, Rachel's Fate, is good. Dear Liz Elizabeth Seton wrote that Robert's Essays had reached her, at which she was much pleased. Robert cannot find his "The Catholic Poets" among his books.

Chatard's great grandfather who came out to Santo Domingo evidently enjoyed the advantages of education as results from his letters in Chatard's possession. Thompson found a Pierre Chatard, Canon of the Diocese of Limoges in 1458; also a Guillaume Chatard at the court of the Due de Bourbon.

The see has no heraldic properties; it is difficult to make an appropriate seal. Monsignor Louis Lootens, the first Vicar Apostolic, resigned in 1875 because of insurmountable difficulties. Until Glorieux's appointment, the Archbishop of Oregon was the Administrator.

CSET II-1-b Barberey, Helen Bailly de, Paris, France, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City, New Jersey 1885 Dec. 28 Seton's precious remembrance came several days ago. Time does not change their friendship. What happiness it would be to see him again. At least he is to write; she knows so little about him; almost nothing about his sisters and brothers. Is his saintly aunt still living? It has been a year since she received anything from Mr. Fillicchi ; he must be near 83. Their uncle, Baron de Corcelle will soon be 83; he is still interested in affairs of the Church and the country. They are all afflicted by the ever growing religious persecution. The number of children who come to their catechism classes is very small. Nothing foretells better times; everywhere there is a great uneasiness. Barberey saw among the portraits in the Catholic Annual, that of Lady Georgina Fullerton ; one of Fullerton's friends is the Marquise de Salvo, an English-woman and convert, she is a close relative of Cardinal Manning. Barberey learned from her that Mrs. Craven is presently writing Fullerton's life. To gather material Mrs. Craven has been in London for several months, Mr. Fullerton having offered her a place in his home. Mrs. Craven is very old and last year underwent a terrible operation. She lives mostly in Paris where she is well beloved by her nephews and friends. The Marquise de Rende, mother of their Nuncio, has been connected with her since childhood. They see the Nuncio sometimes but he now lives in Varenne Street not far from the Bon Lafontaine. The Nuncio in Belgium, Monsignor Ferrata, enjoys the society of Mr. and Mrs. de Licdekerke . Barberey's niece is a very distinguished person; she has two sons and three daughters, the oldest 19. They are at the head of the Catholic party in Belgium. Barberey's brother's daughter will soon be the mother of her first child; her nephew, Viscount Toedere?, married a year ago, does not yet have this expectation. Barberey's cousin, Marquise de Chambrun has been in France for a year; they cannot hope to keep her much longer; her husband will come looking for her; he makes a great sacrifice in being separated from her. Barberey's husband's health is not reassuring. :: II-1-b A.L.S.

Her father was a professor there for a short time and her grand uncle Butler was president for several years. Archbishop William Henry Elder has placed several volumes at her disposal. What she wants is some minutiae to relieve the dryness of the sequence. Also the names of the first seven pupils who came from the Hayland farm. Was Seton's father William Seton one of them? Meline remembers seeing him during one of his visits to St. Joseph's. Archbishop Bayley mentions in his Life of Bishop Bruté "Wm. Miles' Mss. Notes"; they are what she wants if they can be had. Father E.P.? Allen writes that he does not know where they are. Also she wants the names of the first teachers and the date of the coming of some of the lay pupils. Her family traditions begin in 1825 when her uncle Farrell Reilly was a pupil and also her mother's cousin James Miller was a theological student. If Seton can assist her she will be greatly obliged. She has written to Bishop Chatard but has received no answer yet. Her father is Florent Meline not James Meline. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.

It was Father Donohue who built the church in 1830 and Father French of New York was delegated to come and bless it. Raffeiner did live in the church and it was to provide a room possibly for himself that gave rise to the statement that he built the church.

Poultney wrote Vermont that Richard Curzon was the first emigrant as he came to this country with his friend Mr. Burnley on a visit about 1746 or 1747 and married very soon after arrival Elizabeth -Rebecca Beker Becker. Later in life he returned to New York and after the death of his wife his son Richard having married Elizabeth Moale of Baltimore, he came here to live. He brought over with him a parchment genealogy written in 1711 and an immense quantity of silver plate still held by the family. Poultney was in Europe last summer and his friend Lord Frederic Hamilton treated him very handsomely. He stayed with Hamilton's brother-in-law, the Earl of Winterton; was at the Earl of Leconfield's Petworth Park, was entertained by another brother-in-law, the Duke of Buccleuch; and stayed at Glamis Castle with the Earl of Strathmore.

Vermont wishes for no change in Seton's article; first because it is exactly right and secondly because E. Brockholst Livingston 's was written on seeing the article. The controversy is most interesting and shows that The Curio knows its subject and is impartial in the search for truth. Vermont has received Seton's notes on heraldry; he has added a few remarks and they will appear in the October issue. They have decided to publish every month something like the portraits of Vanity Fair; Mr. de Grimm, the eminent artist is in charge of the portraits. Vermont is trying to have a paper that will be read by everyone. He regrets that his return to the city prevents him from receiving Seton in his home and presenting to him the Countess de Vermont whom he has many times told about Seton's kind welcome and his lively and original understanding of things in general.

As Seton says, there was little new in the protest last year against the Education Bill. With regard to their city election, Dwight agrees with Seton that it was unfortunate that as Catholics they felt they must vote for Hugh O'Brien, because the other side has so allied itself with the Know Nothing ring that it was not fit to touch. O'Brien was as good a mayor as most and honest. Still a change would have been desirable. Dwingt believes one of the chief causes of the present anti-Catholic excitement is: when the Queen's jubilee was celebrated in June 1887, there was almost a riot because a number of Englishmen were allowed to have festivities in Faneuil Hall. Prominent among the movers in opposition, not leaders of the mob, was John Boyle O'Reilly and a Catholic priest. It was rather too much to have the Irish dictate who should use Faneuil Hall. Hence the growth of the British American Associations which are more or less openly anti-Catholic. The School Question was a handle.

The photo of Seton in prelates' robes arrived in a damaged condition. He thinks the enclosure no enclosure will interest Seton as a specimen of Calvinistic persecution. Dunlop thinks their old friend Dr. Struthers must have laughed over these musty records of the persecuting spirit of, among others, a predecessor at Prestonpans. Is there any chance of Seton being over there again next summer? Seton speaks of his brother having left America for a sojourn in Europe. Dunlop cannot claim any Seton blood but as a Hamilton his interest in any Seton is great. He had his kinsman, Sir William Hamilton, staying with him after Seton left; he has succeeded to a large sum of money.

Everything in England looks solider, happier and more prosperous. He is impressed by the vastness, populousness and wealth of London. His most frequent visits have been to Westminster Abbey and the British Museum. He has not begun the National Gallery or Kensington Museum. Last Friday he visited Trinity House at the back of the Tower. He also saw where the scaffold stood on Tower Hill. He also visited the Church of All Hallows and saw the pew occupied by Dr. Johnson. While at the British Museum Monsignor George Doane came in and they dined together that evening. Seton left word at Cook's to send anything that might come for him to Edinburgh up to August 15. Perhaps Madame de Barberey has letters for him. He had an excellent interview with Cardinal Manning. In Hyde Park he saw a great concourse of people who were meeting to express sympathy for Ireland and indignation at the second arrest of Mr. Conybeare, M.P. Mr. Sexton made a good point when he asked why such meettings were allowed in England and not in Ireland. David Balfour, a smart young Scotch gentleman, most aggravatingly cool, collected, and apparently indifferent, at last replied that in England such speeches were not likely to provoke a breach of the peace whereas in Ireland they were. Seton saw Gladstone and heard him say a few words. If Wil writes after August 5 he is to address Robert in care of Madame de Barberey. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

If there is a chance of selling Cragdon, Wil is to go ahead. He will put up at the Royal Hotel in Edinburgh. He saw the tomb of Captain John Smith and the Church where Cromwell was married and John Milton buried. Yesterday he saw great curiosities in the South Kensington Museum. He could not see the Mary Seton letters in the British Museum because that department was already closed. The librarian of the House of Lords, Mr. Pulman, showed him the original death warrant of Charles I. He has been again to the House of Commons. He heard some good speaking on both sides. It was strange that the Welsh Tithes Recovery Bill should be in the hands of a Roman Catholic for its successful passage. Seton went to Curzon Street and took a good look at the house in which Agnes and Mary Berry lived so long; he expects to see their tomb in Petersham this week. Last Sunday Seton met a very noble old convert Mrs. Anstruther Stewart, a daughter of the Earl of Sallaway. On Monday he met another convert of the Seton blood,"Baroness" M.G. Halkett, daughter of Baron Halkett of Hanover. She is in training as a Lady-nurse and is going to India for hospital work. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

Nowadays the prestige of foreign travel is gone. He expects to leave in a couple of days. Just around the corner is the ugly little old church of St. James where they used to hear Mass 33 years ago when they stayed in Cavendish Square. From what Robert has seen, English High Society is the most money worshipping in the world. There are now two brewers in the peerage and baronets are taken from every condition in life. He went to Richmond yesterday; he drove to Petersham to see the tomb of Agnes and Mary Berry. There are many people of quality buried all over the little cemetery. He went to Chiswick to see William Hogarth's tomb. Last week he went to Greenwich, walked in the park and around the Observatory. Other days he went to Hampton Court and to Chelsea to see the church where Sir Thomas More worshipped and the tomb of Sir Hans Sloane. He sends love to Nina and Temple. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 16mo.

She will treasure the little paper cutter Seton told her of inasmuch as it has traveled about in Seton's company.

He regrets that his abominable affliction kept him in bed when Seton called. Seton is living in the city in which Russell was born but the old house in which he first saw the light in February 1844, the Carlton Hotel, was long ago demolished. He wishes his health would permit him to visit the United States. One man he has corresponded with in Seton's city is Herman Melville, the admiral of all sea novelists.

CSET II-1-b Seton, William, Paris, France, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1889 Dec. 15 Robert's letter of December 3 came last evening. Sally read it with great pleasure. They like to hear all he has to say about Parbroath Castle and other dear spots in Scotland and England. There is something in that sturdy little island that surpasses in charm to William all the other countries of Europe. A late letter from Henry Ogden says he has had a virtual offer of $75,000 for Cragdon, but he advises to hold on for $85,000. William is willing to accept $85,000 which would give each of them $6,600 in cash. Harry Seton and Lizzie Elizabeth Seton have wild visions about selling it in lots but it costs much money to sell in lots. Sally and he read about Robert at the Centennial in Baltimore. William will see Pere Chocarne again soon. They often pass the church of the Lazarists; was it not there that Robert met Abbe Huc? William is glad Robert sees Louis Sands now and then; he wears well. William has heard from Jevons; all well at Giggleswick. William finds the French grumpy; something of the monkey about them. He expects soon an article in the Catholic World, "Disguises of Nature." "Wonders of the Nervous System" which Father Hewitt praised may not appear till Spring. William hears that Ned Prime is to wive. P.S.

He has been so busy since they got back from their wedding trip. If Robert has any more struck off Alfred would like to have one to send to his father. Alfred appreciated the trouble Robert took to come to his wedding. Robert is mistaken in supposing that Alfred is no friend of Robert's side of the house. Alfred never lets differences of religion make any difference in his friendships. Some of his warmest friends, the Iselins, are of Robert's faith. Robert is also mistaken in thinking that Alfred does not fully appreciate the value of his lineage; it has been a never ceasing source of consolation to him. P.S. He would be very much pleased to have the papers relating to James Seton. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo. CSET II-1-b Winthrop, Augusta Clinton, Boston, Massachusetts, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1890 Jan. 24 She thanks Seton for his kind reply to her letter and assures him of the great pleasure should be visit her. This house is the property of her second step mother's first husband, James Lawrence, and is anything but a Winthrop or other "Brahminical" habitation. Her father's twenty odd years sojurn after her own mother's early death caused him to gather all his personale around him on the Saxon side of the Atlantic and all her bringing up, like her half-English sisters, was thoroughly English. If it would afford Seton any gratification she would be delighted to show him such a house as he describes, that of her great uncle Robert C. Winthrop who though anything but a Catholic, would welcome Seton. If Seton could signfy when he would be in Boston she would arrange to be at his service regarding her Uncle Robert and her friend, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes whose encouragement has been one of the keenest incentives at the artistic side of the poetizing. She did not imagine her other friend, John Boyle O'Reilly would kindle a responsive glow in Seton's mind. She is also proud of being a friend of John Greenleaf Whittier. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 7pp. 12mo. CSET II-1-b Marshall, Robert Seton, Trinidad, West Indies, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1890 Jan.29 He trusts that Seton will excuse his apparent neglect in not acknowledging his memoir of the Parbroath branch of the Setons. He has delayed writing until he had carefully read the memoir. He is employed here in organizing the local forces. In regard to the memoir: where did William Seton get the snuff-box? Did the card counter ever belong to Miss Briggs and what proof is there that it was engraved for the Parbroath family? Marshall's relation, Henry Seton-Karr has a quantity of china with the crescent for a difference but Marshall has not yet been able to connect his Setons with Parbroath. His ancestor, James Seton had a brother John Seton and from him the Seton-Karr are descended. He is inclined to think his branch was connected with Lathrisk. James Seton was a grandson of David Seton, a Burgess of Edinburgh in 1666. If there ever was a man named Dougall he could scarcely have married a daughter of DeQuincy as the dates do not conincide. Marshall doubts there were three Christopher Setons?. Where did the old dagger come from? He doubts whether John Seton who married the heiress of Parbroath was a son of the Governor of Berwick. He believes the governor was succeeded by a daughter, Lady Seton whom Alan de Winton kidnapped and married about 1347. What is the history of Queen Mary of Scots's portrait from the time she gave it to David Seton? Before Marshall came to the West Indies 2 years ago he pointed out to George Seton of St. Bennets' that in the later editions of Burke's Peerage the early pedigree of the Setons has been considerably altered. Marshall's friend Captain Alexander D. Seton has a manuscript pedigree compiled by his Uncle Seton of Mounie, a brother of the famous Colonel Seton, hero of the "Birkenhead". This pedigree was used by Richard? Maitland; it shows the descent from Alan de Winton. Marshall made every endeavor to find Seton's address when he was in New York during September 1887 but failed. He supposes Seton would hear of the death of Marshall's father. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo. 16 CSET II-1-b Synnot, Mark Seton, Ballymoyer, Ireland, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City, New Jersey 1890 Feb. 7 Soon after Seton's arrival in Jersey City he sent Synnot a photo of himself and a woodcut likeness of his grandmother. Since the new year he received the letter accompanying the copies of Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton's three letters to her son written from Ballymoyer in 1783. Synnot's sister, Mrs. Crawhall, née Synnot said these letters brought back what their father used to say of his mother. Seton's stormy start was nothing to last month's. The day before the storm began, a little grandson of his started to join his father in India. They were very anxious until they heard of the ship's arrival at Bombay. The photos Synnot sent were taken 2 days before Seton was at Ballymoyer. Synnot sent some to a cousin in Australia; she was charmed. Synnot's wife and daughters send regards. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo. CSET II-1-b Laing, Alexander, Fife, Scotland, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1890 Feb. 15 He thanks Seton for the account of his ancestors of Parbroath. He has made notes from it in his interleaved copy of "Lindores Abbey." They were a gallant race and Seton has reason to be proud of them. In turning over the Register of the Priory of St. Andrews, Laing noticed the head Creich cum capella. This latter is undoubtedly the chapel of which there are remains still at Parbroath. The common people call it Pitbroath or Petbroath; Pit or Pet is the Gaelic for a place. Laing would like to know when the prefix Par came in; broath is in his opinion the Gaelic which means a sloping bank. He thinks he showed Seton a fragment of a sculptured stone he had rescued at Abernethy. He sent one of the casts of it to the professor of archeology in Cambridge University who informed him that it is a representation of the Crucifixion. Laing thanks Seton for his photo and sends one of himself. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

He was delighted to meet William and told him how kind William Seton had been to St. Jean de Crevecour; he had also heard of them through Madame Helen Bailly de Barberey's book. On the following day Madame de Crèvecour and her daughter of 18, invited them to dinner. They are in mourning so it was merely a family dinner, the daughter, a son of 16 and two little boys. Sally was much pleased. Madame de Crèvecour showed him several letters from William Seton giving Crèvecour, then French counsul, information about commerce, etc. William Seton's name appears as a witness to de Crèvecour's daughter's wedding in Old St. Peter's, Barclay St. William also saw a portrait of this daughter; she had red hair probably from her mother, Mehitable Tibbett of Yonkers; also a painting of "Pine Hill",de Crèvecour's farm in Orange County, 1775. William wrote Sands last week. Mr. de Barbarey sent William a copy of his book, "Souvenirs du Comte de Neuilly," his uncle. Jevons must be in New York. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

He and Sally have already climbed Montmartre. On Ash Wednesday they went to St. Sulpice. They called on Father Forbes, S.J. William has told of their nice dinner at Mr. de Crevecour's. The Crevecours have read Madame de Barberey's book. During their walk they stopped at a small house of the Sisters of Charity; they were glad to meet Mother Seton's grandson. As for Robert's feeling depressed now and then, it is only physical, Robert should keep out of doors as much as possible. William is about to send off an article on the "Physiology of the Animal Kingdom." He asks to be remembered to Sands; it does Robert good to be with him. How is Mr. Navarro? William only knows what he reads in the papers about Totie and Miss Anderson; he thinks it likely they are engaged. One of the conductors on the tramway is so like Carleton Bayley. William's first winter at Carleton's, '56 or '57, was most poetical to him. Grace was only 8. William has a number of letters his father wrote him from Paris that winter. One night William Graham, Carley's brother-in-law, got tipsy and William held a glass of whiskey punch under his nose to make him follow him up to the second story. William wishes he had known Carley's first wife. William sometimes thinks of the old days at Cragdon; he can go back to 1842 or 43. West of the big house was thick woods. George Burgess was often his companion. He can see Uncle Tommy Secor feeding the chickens; so different from McCormick who took his place. If Robert is at Cragdon and wants to learn something about Old East Chester he should see Dr. Coffee, pastor of the Episcopal church. Sally and William hope Robert gets to see Mrs. Parrish and Mrs. Lee. Annie never writes; he hears often from Harry and Liz. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo. 10 CSET II-1-b Halkett, Emily M.G., London, England, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1890 Feb. 28 How good of Seton to send her all those things. She is so glad that he went to the wedding; he was the only representative of the family. His descriptions amused them all. The young couple arrived at Liverpool and has gone to the country till Monday. She thanks Seton for telling her the story of his mother; it was very touching. She delights in the practice of their holy religion. Now that she is on night duty she can often go to Mass. She too, always wishes she had been born a Catholic. She thanks Seton for the portrait of his grandmother; she will be delighted to get the memoirs of the Setons. She wishes she could see Seton's brother and wife. Sister Lucas wishes to be remembered to Seton. They have lost all trace of Mrs. Anstruther Stewart. She and Sister Lucas expect to be going East at the end of the year. She does not see how they could pass New York; much as she would like it. She will be glad to hear about Seton from Hugh Halkett.

He hopes Seton will accept them as a souvenir of their journey to Palestine. Since his return to America, the Franciscans have recovered two holy spots connected with the life of the prophet Isaiah.

Young Seton will be 19 on June 16. His father was Scammon's Chief of Staff in Florida; he was educated at an Austrian military school and was an officer in the Corps d'Elite. His father William Seton was formerly an officer of the U.S. Navy. At the outbreak of the Civil War the father made his son leave Austria to accept a Captaincy of colored troops. Here Monsignor Seton has inserted the note "a mistake- white troops." Scammon thinks the service records of father and grand father justify the application for a cadetship at West Point. Scammon hopes Kennedy will so far recognize the claims of his old Commander and lend assistance in behalf of young Seton. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 3pp. 16mo.

She expects to be married in the fall at her cousin's, Mrs. Gale's place in Terry, New York. Saidee is sending the pictures she promised so long ago. She has not heard from Aunt Lucy yet.

A few days ago Nina Prime, Mr. Palmer, and William ascended the Eiffel Tower. This forenoon they met Mrs. Donnelly and the younger Miss Caldwell. Last week William went to the Jardin des Plantes with an old Munich friend, Mr. Ing, who asked after Lizzie and Jack. William had a letter from Sands. They may not see Robert will autumn, if then. Tom and Bel never write. Sally looks very well. Yesterday they went by boat to St. Germain. William hopes the late Mr. Dyckers left Mrs. Navarro some money.

Two days ago Durward had a letter from Aubrey de Vere. He is sending Durward a new edition of "Legends of St. Patrick" which De Vere says he wrote to induce his fellow countrymen to love their patron more. De Vere too complains of the Catholic publishing houses. Truly the insane hatred of some of the Irish is greatly to be lamented. Durward has ransacked his brain to think what word of his Seton construed into hatred of aristocracy. Seton's mention of the Catacombs carries Durward back to dear Rome. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.

He thought of their slow journey in 1852 by diligence; they drove to the Hotel De la Poste, the same hotel where they spent their first night. On the morrow they went to the Protestant God's Acre and soon found their mother's Emily Prime Seton grave. Mr. and Mrs. Veronese are dead; the son is in Paris. Barbandy, the tailor who lived in the Maison Barère where their mother died, is dead. William looked up at the window of the room where their mother died; he also looked well at the Maison Centraille. The place Henri Quatre looks about the same: Mr. Lespis, once a professor at the Lycee, who gave Emily Seton Latin lessons, lives near the hotel. The old porter Lanchat and wife are dead. Bernard who used to take their mother out to drive is living but not in Pau. They may return tomorrow to Paris. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.

They went daily to their mother's Emily Prime Seton grave. They met Father Green, an Irish priest who knew Robert in Rome. Dr. Smythe is buried quite near their mother; so is Reverend Buscorlet. William visited Ex-Professor Lespys who has made a name by his Bearnais Grammar and Dictionary; he is now 74. He asked about Emily Seton to whom he taught Latin. Mr. Sanstort, a teacher at the Lycee is dead; so is Abbé Merle, the chaplain. They passed an interesting day at Lourdes. William means to try to persuade Sally to go to England soon. How is Sands? William never hears of the Navarros. Tom and Bel never writes. They were glad to hear Jack John Foster Seton had done well in elocution. They return next spring.

If Seton uses an armorial bookplate Howard would be greatly obliged for a copy to add to his collections. Has an impression been taken of the arms from the lid of the snuff box now belonging to William Seton of New York? Howard has copies of many coats armorial taken from old silver plate. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.

Yesterday William met Monsignor George H. Doane in the rue de Rivoli. Doane went to England today. William was sorry to hear from Doane of the death of May Bayley's husband, Mr. Fox. William remembers the summer day in 1857 when Carleton Bayley married her mother, Miss Murray. William fears Annie Foster Seton is wanting in good sense; she has not known how to treat Jack John Foster Seton. He has a talent for mechanics and will do better in mechanics than at Latin or Greek. William was sorry to learn of the death of Father George McCloskey. William remembers the day his mother took him to St. John's College and left him in McCloskey's charge. Liz Elizabeth Seton and Harry Seton are most unwise not to be willing to sell Cragdon for the offer of last March. They met Mrs. Navarro here some weeks ago. Her brother, Mr. Dyckers, left her $50,000. Totie and his bride were there to call. A letter from Sands says he is having a good time at Gloucester. William hears nothing of Berrian.

Mother Catharine was anointed for fear of death and is still ailing; the doctor says that she may live 10 years; she had such a fund of vitality. She must end, she is tired. Robert is to put down her many mistakes to 90 and 23 days! Enclosed is a copy of the Memorare written in another hand. At the end of the prayer is the note "Remember your promise… to say this prayer daily…" On the back of the letter Seton notes that this is one of the last or perhaps the last letter written to him by his Aunt Mother Catharine Seton, last surviving child of Mother Seton. :: II-1-b A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo.

She often thinks of their pleasant meeting. Her father George Marshall Seton? continued much in the same depressed state he was in when Robert saw him till the beginning of this year when Mary and her brother decided to send him to the south of England. He began to improve from the time he played golf at St. Ives. Mary went to London as her sister's sister-in-law died. Her father joined her there in June quite a different man. They may not be very long in Edinburgh as their "tie" has been broken and they are probably to sell St. Bennet's and eventually settle in London. Mary thanks Robert for "Seton of Parbroath." She does not know if her father has sent the information as he is in Fifeshire at present but will find out. Minnie Wilkins is very well; her sister was married May 1 and has gone to America; her husband has a post in the Cathedral at Grahamstower. They met the Miss Coventrys and found them very pleasant.

Dunlop heard from his distant kinsman, Reverend Arthur Wentworth Hamilton Eaton that he had met Seton since Seton was there. Dunlop sends Seton a photo of himself.

Knowing how little interest John took in his books last year Allen does not think it would be well to place John in school again until he sees a little more of the world. John is a good boy and has formed no bad habits. A few days ago Allen told Mrs. Seton he thought it would be a good plan to put John in an architect's office; John has a talent for drawing and this business is an honorable and lucrative one at the present time.

There were great church ceremonies last week; the Archbishop's golden jubilee and the completion of a new altar in St. Martin Church. It continues dull and rainy; their wood fire reminds William of Carleton Bayley?'s wood fires at Uplands. They go to Paris for a week or so tomorrow to do some shopping.

Liz writes that Aunt Kate is doing well for her years. William was sorry to hear of the death of Father Edward Doucet, S.J.; he taught William Latin over 40 years ago; he is about the last of the French Jesuits at Fordham. Now the Irish have superseded them, and not for the better. He can remember St. John's in 1843. William has been amused by what "Life" says of Ward McCallister's book on New York society.

Sally wants to read them. Poor Louis Joseph Sands! The curse of speculation has perhaps ruined him. Old Dr. Orestes A. Brownson was to William a far more interesting man than all the Goulds and Vanderbilts. They received today Mrs. Drexel's cards to the wedding; they are glad Robert went. William has made the acquaintance of the Professor of Science at Tours Lycée. Sally is doing so well here that as long as she likes it they will stay.

Guy Carleton Bayley was the son of Richard Bayley by his second wife Charlotte Amelia Barcley . He and his brother are the last of the branch in America. He is anxious to settle the question of origin beyond the power of a muddler like Baird. He is determined to unravel the mystery that seems to surround the personality of William Bayley, father of Dr. Richard and the circumstances of his coming to America.

CSET II-1-c Barberey, Helen Bailly de, Paris, France, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City, New Jersey 1891 May 4 Two deaths have greatly saddened her. Patrizio Filicchi wrote her regularly and in his own hand made for her copies of all the letters in the correspondence between his father and Mother Elizabeth Bayley Seton. And when she went to Leghorn and Pisa he received her as one of his own. Eight months ago when Barberey's husband visited Filicchi he was failing. There is no doubt that his Ubaldo Filicchi's death was a terrible blow to him. Madame Laura Filicchi de Goracuchi wrote shortly after these two deaths; her letter showed her to be a worthy daughter of her father. Barberey does not know if Giorgio Filicchi is married. Seton's Aunt Mother Catherine Seton for a long time had sent Barberey her recollections; she seemed the living relic of her saintly mother. Barberey is sorry about what Seton wrote of the health of his sister-in-law Sarah Redwood Parrish Seton; the death of her child has broken her. Barberey asks Seton to express her sympathy to William Seton. Barberey's husband has recovered and again enjoys society. Her uncle Baron de Corcelle will be 89 on June 2; he wrote some remarks after reading Count Hubner's "Une Annee de ma Vie." Barberey reads only what is useful to her work; the notes on her maternal family are finished, there remains what concerns her paternal family. She is deep in the period when her grandfather, Count Roederer played his role in politics, 1800 in France, 1807 and 1808 in Naples. He was a friend of Joseph Bonaparte. Barberey asks to be remembered to Robert's sister Elizabeth. She wrote to the Bishop of Vincennes; he has not answered. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo. 11 CSET II-1-c Winter, William, Staten Island, New York, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1891 May 9 The pressure of work has prevented him from coming to St. Joseph's rectory. The dramatic season has been exceedingly busy and difficult. A new play, "Don Juan," is to come about May 18 and will be the last of the year. He hopes to have copies of "Gray Days and Gold" next week and will send one to Seton. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 1p. 12mo. CSET II-1-c Winter, William, Staten Island, New York, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1891 May 11 He has Seton's letter of the 9th; he had not the slightest intention to indicate by the use of the word "Romish", contempt for the Church. It will be Roman if the book goes to a second edition. He professes no creed himself, but has a deep respect for the beliefs of others. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 1p. 12mo. CSET II-1-c Austin, R.S.M., Sister Mary, New York, New York, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1891 May 13 She has several journals of Mother Catherine Seton written while abroad about 1830. Sister knows that William Seton intended to publish a life of his aunt; she presumes he would be glad of their perusal. She asks Seton to mention this or give her William's address. Sister was taken with la grippe the day of Mother Catherine's death. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.

CSET II-1-c Seton, William, Paris, France, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1891 May 26 Sally and he arrived in Paris on the 14th. They saw Sally Lee and Samuel Parrish off for Havre. William will never forget 1856, the year he went to Illinois. What a dreamer he was then! Perhaps their isolated life on their 150 acres at Cragdon may have accentuated their idiosyncracies. An old Munich friend Henry Ing? called yesterday. Seton is always to remember William to Sands; he never hears from Jevons. They will see Robert in September. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 4pp. 16mo. CSET II-1-c Scammon, Eliakim Parker, Audubon Park, New York, New York, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1891 May 30 After waiting an opportunity to visit Seton, he is compelled to write instead of going. His health has been miserable. He must confess he is old. He was disappointed that his quondam friends did not act effectually in favor of Seton's nephew John Foster Seton?. McKinley was presumably so engrossed in his "Bill" but he thought Kennedy would do what he could to secure the appointment. The old Army friends who have died are General William T. Sherman, General William Stokes, and Colonel Kendrick. They were classmates, each about 80 years of age. Stokes was a very dear friend. Scammon is 75. He was Chief of Artillery under Rosecrans and Buell; his reward Brevet Brigadier General and total blindness. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 4pp. 16mo.

CSET II-1-c Seton, William, Paris, France, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1891 Jul. 7 They will leave for Innsbruck this week. On July 4th he and Sally went to the International Athletic Sports. Whitelaw Reid and Jules Simon presided. The Manhattan Club men won every prize. When Robert's income is increased by a sale of Cragdon, he must visit Europe again. William met Monsignor George H. Doane here on his way to the Engadine. William has a letter from Liz Elizabeth Seton who was sightseeing in Antwerp. Also a letter from Harry Secton who will be helped by the sale. Sands sent accounts of the Seabright fire. Father Isaac Hecker's life in the Catholic World is curious reading. Hecker was an odd man; something of a dreamer and yet very American. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 4pp. 16mo. CSET II-1-c Seton, William, Paris, France, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1891 Jul. 24 They will go to the Tyrol about August; while there they will meet Liz Elizabeth Seton. Isabel Seton-Jevons and her family may also be there. He and Sally called upon Mrs. Ruxton and daughter. Ruxton died recently in New York. William first met her at her uncle's, Colonel Dement in 1856; Ruxton was then in Stile's bank in Dixon. Sands sent two pictures of the old mill at East Chester. William remembers the Reid sisters, and Robert, the miller. About 15 years ago he called on Phebe Reid. They were pleased with Robert's discourse at Saint Aloysius Academy. The Navarro's country place must be a great loss to them. They are going to Sacred Heart today to call upon Madame Sarah Jones, the head of the order in New York. Sally will send by her a book for Madame M.J. Keller in 17th Street. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 4pp. 16mo. CSET II-1-c Seton, Elizabeth, Carlsbad, Germany, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1891 Jul. 27 They arrived Friday from Dresden to do the cure for Laura Edwards? who has some mild liver trouble. They were expecting to go to Innsbruck to meet Sally and William Seton. They are just four weeks landed; and a rest would be agreeable but the resort is so crowded and the hotels do not serve meals. The valley is so steep that cousin Mary Seton must use a donkey chaise to travel the mountain paths. She does not know their plans after leaving Carlsbad but they will probably visit Paris before he sails on October 17. The Jonathan Edwards spent the winter in Egypt. She had a letter from Nina Prime who seems to miss her. She hopes Temple Prime will invite Robert to Bar Harbor. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 4pp. 12 mo.

CSET II-1-c Seton, William, Paris, France, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1891 Sep. 5 He received Robert's letter of August 24. The Home Journal with Robert's account of the heirlooms was very interesting. The Freeman's Journal has degenerated into a purely Irish paper. Catholic papers and publications generally are not up to the mark. He regrets that he did not turn to Science long years ago. The new Catholic University in Washington is doing nothing for natural science: it will likely remain a huge theological school for fifty years to come. It was good of Robert to send Nell money. ELizabeth Seton visited Munich and met Doctor Joseph Bach who came from the Tyrol to see her. Isabel Seton Jevons and family are still at St. Moritz. Sally Seton speaks of visiting Tours to see her friend Mary DeLafontaine. William met Rene de Lespinasse who has nervous exhaustion. His wife is there too. Lespinasse has fallen out with Mr. Navarro. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 4pp. 16 mo. 10 CSET II-1-c Cayley, Father Reginald A., New York, New York, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1891 Sep. 11 He arrived yesterday morning by the Teutonic with Archbishop Michael A.

CSET II-1-c Ogden, Henry, New York, New York, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1891 Sep. 15 He read with delight an account in the Tribune of Seton's sermon against the "rum power." It would be a magnificent spectacle if all Catholic priests would begin a crusade against the rum power in every State of the Union. The priest at Ogden is with Seton in spirit. Ogden had a party in yesterday who wanted a refusal of Cragdon at $100,000 for six weeks. It would not do to five one for less than $2,000. He has a letter from Isabel Seton Jevons in which she said they would be home September 25. He has not heard from Lizzie Elizabeth Seton :: II-1-c A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.

The schools are out at four which leaves them time for an hour's stroll. They often walk along the ocean cliffs. Their schools St. Mary's had a promising start: over 200 rescued from the public schools! Their pastor, Father Philip Grace, although partially invalided with a nerve illness is zealous and active and a gentleman of culture. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 4pp. 4to. CSET II-1-c Seton, Elizabeth, Paris, France, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1891 Sep. 28 She received Robert's letter in Switzerland but deferred writing until she had seen William Seton and Sally Seton. She has never seen Sally looking better and hopes that their prayers have been heard and her cure assured. Mrs. Jonathan Edwards received word that Uncle John Jay was thrown from his carriage and there is little likelihood of his recovery. Nina Prime is back in Huntington. The Jevons Isabel Seton Jevons sailed on Saturday. Elizabeth has a little over two weeks more of this life before returning. Mary and Laura Edwards send their regards. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 4pp. 16mo. CSET II-1-c Seton, William, Paris, France, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1891 Sep. 29 He is glad Robert was present at the Marquis de Chambrun's funeral. He does not recall the officer, Gates, whose death notice Robert sent but thinks it was their first quartermaster; it is 30 years ago. William will write today to Henry Ogden and tell him there must be no putting off the sale of Cragdon. Elizabeth Seton is now in Paris and is staying with Mrs. Jonathan Edwards. Sally, Liz, Miss Edwards, and William went to the theatre last week. Liz sails on October 17. Sally and William will return home in December and stay till April, then back to Europe to escape the summer heat. The Catholic World is not so dignified in its new yellow cover. It is a pity that the magazine is not on a firm basis. He read that the Jesuits were to start a Review in New York. The great need of the age is well-trained Catholics in natural science. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 4pp. 16mo.

She paid a visit to Madame Helen Bailly de Barberey. She also met there some friends of Robert's, a Count and Countess de Cannes. The Count had just returned from Rome having lead 600 workingmen on a pilgrimage, leaving there the eve of the fracas at the Pantheon. Little Maurice wore the cross and chain Robert had given him. They also called upon the Roussillons who have two sons both Marists Father Maurice Rousselon, S.M. in Salt Lake City. Today Elizabeth will get William Seton to go with her to see Barberey who is in town for the day. Sally Seton is so very well and so gay; Elizabeth believes their prayer has been answered. She hopes Sally and William will return home for the winter. Elizabeth's four months abroad have been a great success.

The magazine has accepted three of William's articles. He called upon Madame Helen Bailly de Barberey with Elizabeth Seton. He is sorry to learn of the death of Monsignor Thomas Preston; Monsignor George Doane is also very ill. William often thinks of the blazing fires at Cayleys on Rock River; now 35 years ago. Sally and he expect to sail on December 5 from Havre. He has written Henry Ogden who no doubt will do his best to sell Cragdon for $100,000.

There was a great debate in the Senate House last week about continuing Greek; it was decided to retain it. Reginald's Father Thomas Jevons informs Reginald that he visited Seton and that he is quite well. He believes Aunt Elize Elizabeth Seton is now in New York and glad to be back. Jevons has a book entitled "Stories of Old Families" which opens with the Setons.

CSET II-1-c Seton, William, Paris, France, to Monsignor Robert Seton, Jersey City Heights, New Jersey 1891 Nov. 17 What Robert reports about the boys is not cheering. William fears Annie Anne Foster Seton has little fitness for managing them. The last 3 or 4 years have been almost lost time for John Foster Seton and Willie William H. Seton. Heredity and Annie's unfitness have heavily handicapped them. The Catholic Quarterly Review has come with Robert's article on the catacombs. He was pleased with the article on Edgar Allen Poe, whom he can dimly remember when he was at St. John's; he and his father stopped at Poe's cottage. They will sail on December 5. He called upon Professor Jules T. Ernest Hamy of the Trocadero Museum and also on Professor Albert Gaudry . Pere Auguste Leroy, O.P. has gone to Corsica. Sally Seton has had two letters from Seton of Giggleswick; he writes well. All three boys are above average. William must try to see Madame Helen Bailly de Barberey again before leaving.

The Bishop of Idaho A.J. Glorieux arrived in town last evening; he says he will do his best toward giving them a resident priest. Glorieux called on Harry. He is an old acquaintance of Monsignor Robert Seton. At last accounts the boys are well. Jack John Foster Seton will soon enter upon a career so new to him and one in which there are so many temptations that Harry asks for her prayers that his poor boy may be spared to do no wrong. He sends love to Nina and Temple. :: II-1-c A.L.S. 1p. 4to.

Nina Prime and Elizabeth spent the night at Rye where they met all the immediate family. She received a letter from William Seton; he sails on December5. The allowance she has been receiving from Uncle Frederick Prime is no longer forthcoming. Had Robert not sent her the $30 she could not have accepted the invitation of Nell's Sister Mary Angela Seton superior to visit her for Thanksgiving.

Seton does not know if he ever sent Edwards that prayer he composed when President James A. Garfield was shot and the note he received from the President's secretary.
